Cracked Screen- How to factory erase

[checksergio]

Okay so I know this is probably futile..but I recently cracked my Optimus G screen and I was gonna sell it for parts but I have one dilemma- I cannot wipe my info..I have managed to get into the wipe menu..but for some reason the geniuses at LG designed the phone to require touch input to select the wipe function unlike the power button on other Androids...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

I have tried downloading the LG software but that also requires me going into the phone and selecting USB mode which I cannot!

you might have noticed the touch requirement before today. beat phone with hammer. fix phone. have repair person fix long enough to wipe

Of course I had noticed it before..It just never occurred to me that it might irk me in the near future....anyways, if I had the money to buy a new touchscreen - i would not be here asking for help
