A factory reset can be made so easy, if you just know the right things to do!!
1. Back up your photo's to your PC (Should be done periodically anyway!"
2. Download Kies 3 (If you don't have it).
3. Make sure you're using a google account that backs up your contacts and such.
4. Back up your N3 with Kies (Full Back Up).
5. Do factory Reset.
6. Restore back up from Kies 3.
That's it, If you choose to back up everything through Kies, then their's nearly nothing that needs to be re-done! If you "are" having issues, the do the reset, you'll feel better in the morning, I promise!
