===== Reset a Locked Phone =====

These instructions apply to the situation in which someone has set the lock code and can't remember it.  The result is a "wipe data/factory reset".
  - Power off phone (hold red button, select power off).
  - Turn on phone (red button) while holding the Home button.  Should see an exclamation point in a triangle and a phone icon.
  - Open keyboard.
  - Select ALT+W to wipe the phone.  

All user data and installed programs are lost.
