Hard reset on your BlackBerry© Pearl™ 8130

06/19/2008

A hard reset should only be performed if a Soft 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. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost.
