Hard Reset of NOOKcolor
I recently had an email from a NOOKcolor user. He had an issue with the passcode lock. Basically, he could not get past it though he did not know the lock. What to do? Well, the only option that I am aware of is to hard reset/reboot the NOOKcolor device. Here are the instructions (adapted from the B&N Book Clubs Forum):
Following these steps performs a factory reset of the NOOKcolor, which de-registers your device as well as erases all local content such as contacts, sideloaded documents, personal information, 4 digit passcodes, etc.
Power off your NOOKcolor.Hold the Home button while simultaneously pressing and holding the Power button for 25 seconds.Do not let go of the Home or Power buttons as the start up process begins. When a confirmation windows appears asking if you would like to, "Factory Reset Your Device?"Press the Home button to continue with the hard reset.Press the Home button again to confirm.Your device will now begin the clearing process. Upon completion, it will be as if you have a brand new NOOKcolor.
