Just bought a sidekick off ebay and I can't seem to figure out how to change the username in the System Information, driving me nuts saying the old owners name in there.
Anyone have any ideas? Or any idea's on how to do a hard reset on the phone?

try holding down the reset key (move the screen down halfway from the open postion, you will see a small reset hole above the keyboard) and press the power button. That should reset the system for you.

to do a full clear of flash (not the os flash but the ram) you press menu+shift+x all at once and say yes to the erase of flash setings.

I just moved up from a Sidekick 2 to a Sidekick 3 which I purchased off my sister. After looking at several websites, I finally found the true and complete answer for you. Here is what worked for me. Enjoy!
.
Want to clear out your info (ie: to sell yours)? Here's how:
1) Remove your sim card
2) From the jump screen: Menu -> Settings -> System Info
3) Press Menu+Shift+X Select OK to clear the flash.
4) Press Menu+Shift+R Select OK to clear the login information.
5) Perform a hard reset now. This will reboot the device.
To perform a hard reset:
SK2 - Press the power button and reset button at the same time. Unit will vibrate when reset. You can use a paper clip or similiar to hit the reset button located behind the screen.
SK3 - remove the battery while the device is on.
6) Call your carrier and ask them to detach your device IMEI from the username locked in. Once that is done, hard reset without your SIM card inserted.
You're done.
.
I hope this has helped you all. Take Care!
