Soft reset
Occasionally, you may need
to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset of your device clears
all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can
be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program
is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the
installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when
programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

You can also perform a hard reset (also
known as a full reset). A hard reset should only be performed if a
normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the
device is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you
first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data
you enteredand settings you customized on your device will be lost.
Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will
remain.
Warning! Your
device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any
additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up
before you perform a hard reset.
ImportantIf Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, backup all
files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or
updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no longer be able
to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or
Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage
card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the
storage card.
