Soft Reset *#7780# : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc) - Hard Reset *#7370# : This reformats the C: drive completely and all applications and files stored on this drive will be lost. *

With *#7370# and *#7780# the lock code will be asked before formatting the phone so be sure to remember your code, the DEFAULT CODE by nokia is 12345. *

Firstly you might want to make a back up of all your important bookmarks, calender, notes and contacts, Using file manager go to c:/system/data find bookmarks.db for bookmarks, calendar for calendar, notepad.dat for notes, and Contacts.cdb for contacts. *

Contacts can only be copied when phone is in off line mode/flight mode, use Psiloc System Tools for flight mode, not needed on 6630 or later. Or you can use Contact Manager app *
