Cannot hard reset s720 - HTC Vox

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Telus S720 off of eBay and it's prompting me (in French) for a password to unlock the device. I don't know this password and the seller doesn't either, so the logical step is a hard reset. I read on HTC's website that I can hard reset the S720 with these steps:
Power the device off. Press and hold the left and right soft keys. Power the device on while holding these keys. Follow the on-screen prompts to factory reset the device.

Click to collapse
This does not work. I take the battery out, hold both soft keys, then hold the power button until the device vibrates to indicate it's powering on. I continue to hold the soft keys, and it boots into Windows. Am I doing something wrong here? I've tried these steps on both the number pad and keyboard.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
*edit: I got it to go after charging the battery for a while.

Hard Reset of HTC Touch Pro

I've read through several posts regarding resetting my HTC Touch pro but nothing is working. My touch screen stopped working - it doesn't do anything when I tap the icons on the screen. The keys still work but the screen is not working.
With the power off I tried holding down the volume button while pressing the round "enter" button and then pressed the power on button. The only message I get is "you are about to power off the device, you will lose any information not saved". I've also tried holding down the down volume button while holding the enter button and then using my stylus hit the "reset" button on the bottom. This didn't do anything either - I hate this phone!
The phone is on the Alltel network.
How I hard reset my 6850 HTC Touch Pro
Using the recommended method I was not able to hard reset my phone after installing a custom ROM I maid using PPC Kitchen. But what I tried that did work was, Phone off (not just asleep), holding the volume down button, while holding down the round "enter" button, while holding down the power button, then also holding down the reset button holding down all these buttons worked. I did not have to hold them for long till the text instructions came up and I followed them. Let me know if this works for any of you.

I had the same issue. And it did not work for me either. I found this alternative way to hard reset from another site.....
Start/Settings/System and find Clear Storage and that will hard reset your device.

How do I hard reset my fuze?

I've been trying this over and over and all I get is the initial bootup screen.
I hold down the Volume Down, Enter (center circle button) and then use the stylus to hold down the Reset button. I hold all 3 down at the same time.
Every time I do this the phone reboots as if I only pressed the reset button using the stylus.
I've tried holding all 3 down for over 5 seconds and I've also tried releasing the reset button first and continuing to hold down the Volume Down and Center/circle button (which is the way described here on xda) and all it does is do what I believe is a soft reset.
Shouldn't I be seeing a screen saying it's going to delete all data?
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I should mention, I just finished installing TAEL's new rom ([ROM][WWE][PRO|FUZE][WM6.5.5.5|23518][14JAN10] TAEL ROM v3.23518 • SENSE EDITION • ), which is a windows mobile 6.5 rom, but every time I try the hard reset it's showing windows mobile 6.1. Although it does show TAEL rom at the initial screen where it also shows the wrong windows mobile version.
hard reset fuze
You must keep holding the volume up and the circle button pressed AFTER you remove the stylus. this should take you to the RGB screen and then instructions on how to continue.
Good luck
Actually, that method didn;t work for me either.. but this one did...
Take out the battery... put the battery back in...
Press and hold the CENTER BUTTON and VOLUME DOWN... While still pressing them press and hold the POWER button. Then you will get a screen saying press volume up to hard reset...
I hope that works for you
That was so easy! Thanks.

Many people often let go of the buttons before it turns back on.
Note: You can release the reset button but still have to hold Vol Down and Center to get to the Bootloader.

how do you factory reset ?

hi you all...
my sister is sending me her Touch Pro 2 CDMA phone.
she wants to reset the phone to remove all her info....
what is the best and easiest way for her to remove her personal info from her phone?
thanks
Go to Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage.
Or the other method: With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until warning message appears on screen, the press the Volume Up button.
thanks redpoint..
