 +===== 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.
  
 +See http://phandroid.com/2008/10/25/how-to-reset-your-g1-and-start-from-scratch/ for more information.
