there is a different combination to zero it out, that is to write zeros on all of the memory so some tech savvy person can't steal your info. I think you plug the hotsync cable in, do exactly what you did before, but this time press the hotsync button too.

I've read those instructions. You need the following:
-snorkle
-map of Baltimore
-glue
-toliet paper

Read through these instructions before attempting the reset. We made this method of zero out reset extremely awkward to perform, so that it would not happen by accident. You may need the help of a dextrous friend if you find it too difficult to do by yourself.

While continuing to hold Power, UP and HotSync, press and release the RESET button on the back panel of your device (where's the reset hole?). This is very difficult to do with only one person; you may wish to hold the stylus in your mouth and use your hands to press Power, UP and HotSync.

I tried it, but I don't think it worked, or maybe it did...
