I cant find anything in the instruction manual regarding this, i've tried hitting hard reset while holding down the power button and that didnt seem to work. what button did you hold down?

the button in the row of four, the second on the left side

if i do the one on the right side next to the directional pad it boots a diag tool

isn't there a small pin button on the bottom you hold for like 10 seconds and it erases it

2nd hit on google.

"How do I hard reset the iPAQ 3950, 3955, 3970, 3975?

Just hold down the calendar and today buttons, these are the two outer buttons on the lower left and lower right, then using a stylus press and hold for at least five seconds the soft reset button this is located on the lower right edge of the unit. The screen should reset you will now need to press the soft reset button again to power on the unit as the power button will not do this."
