Performing a Master Reset Using the Software:

WARNING! Unlike wiping the cache partition, master resetting your device will result in loss of personal data that is stored on the handset's internal storage. This includes downloaded content, personal photos / videos, apps, contacts, ringtones and more. NOTE: content that is stored on the SIM card will not be deleted.
Make sure you back up your data, if necessary. (Click this link to learn how to back up and restore)
While viewing the home screen, tap the "Menu" key
Select "Settings"
Go to "Backup & reset"
Select "Factory Data reset" and tap "Reset phone"

Tap and hold "Power off"
Once the "Reboot to safe mode" message appears on screen, tap "OK"
