Unscrew the tip from your stylus
Locate the "RESET" hole behind the backcover of your Treo 680
Press and hold the power button on the top of your Treo and then press the reset button with the stylus pin
Remove the pin from the reset hole FIRST, and then release the power button.
The screen will say "erase all data?", tap the up arrow to answer yes

Noooo! these are directions for a 650, not Treo 680!
The 680 doesn't have a stylus that unscrews, it doesn't have a Reset hole, and it doesn't have a Power button.

The Link referencing the Palm KB page also doesn't have any mention of Hard Rest for the Treo 680 and the 5-way up while re-inserting the battery doesn't seem to work at all.

Any other suggestions from someone who has actually done a Hard Reset or data wipe on a Treo 680?

Thanks,
