• For whatever particular reason you may have, if you are reading this article then you may be considering Hard Resetting your Motorola Droid. If you are not familiar with this term, it means resetting it to it's factory settings AND wiping all information you or anyone else has stored or downloaded to it. If you really want to proceed, here is how to Hard Reset your Motorola Droid.
• Before you begin anything else, back up ALL of your files to either your microSD card on the phone or to your PC or laptop with the use of the USB Data Cable

• There are two levels of reset on the Droid phone. You can try these if your Droid locks up and stops responding to taps or key presses.
• The first level of reset is the safest as there is no loss of data. So you'll want to try this one first. To do this, remove the back cover from your Droid and remove the battery. Wait a couple of seconds, then replace the battery and cover and turn your phone back on.
• The second level of reset is more extreme as it will erase all of the settings and data on your phone... Hit the menu button and then hit Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset > Reset phone. This will likely resolve any issues with a locked Droid, but it will also result in complete lose of data and settings.
