How to: Hard reset the Motorola Droid

[Jeremy]

Could come in handy for some of you.

1. Turn the Droid off. If it won?t turn off, take the battery out then place it back in.

2. Open the keyboard and press the X key while pressing and holding Power. The device will power on. Keep holding the buttons down until a yellow triangle appears.

3. Press the Camera and Volume Up buttons at the same time to get to the menu.

4. Use the direction pad to the right of the keyboard to select the Format option.

I was wondering... when I hard reset is done what happens to the phone account information already existing on the phone such as the phone's number and carrier information?
