Thought I would share this with you all after spending two days trying to unlock my wifes phone!
Before you peform this unlock you must remove the sim card and sd card or it will not reset!
With the phone turned of, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefy press the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP
Restore settings and contacts from the sd card and you're away!
i just had to wait like 30sec to try the pattern again after too many goes. i think.
i must admit tho, i was very, very drunk.
This was work for me:

Press home key - after a short wait you will see a screen with a Warning triangle and a phone picture
Press Home key and Power on key together- you will see three options
reboot
apply sdcard:update.zip
factory reset
Select factory resset with track ball and click as required.
Hope that helps someone.
You Don't Have To Flash...
Try this:
It was all about this "Two-Step Verification" security of google!
I tried everything... and I mean EVERYTHING (except flashing my XooM), but at the edge of giving up, I signed into my google account and issued an "Application Specific Password" for Xoom from my Google account.
I used my [email protected] with that Application Specific Password and it worked. (do not enter spaces in the password)
Let me know if it worked

thanks for providing this information
if its on fastboot then
uhm... wasn't the clear storage option designed to literally wipe everything except bootloader?
Last time i used it i had a hard time figuring out how to use fastboot to get a working recovery to finally get back a rom on my device. The desire was my first android phone and i was completely new to that stuff
UNLOCKING
Those unlock procedures does not work with a motorola droid razr 4G LTE

I haven't had to try it yet on the S620, but most HTC devices will hard reset by:
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
3. Later, screen should show instructions to ask user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period, which is only several seconds only.
5. If no instruction is shown on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.
The timing is sensitive.
Let us know if it still is that way with the S620/Dash. I would be surprised if it wasn't. It is set-up that way on the 3125/Qtek 8500/smartflip as I just did it yesterday.

I need to send my phone in for repair but want to factory reset it first.
LCD cracked after a drop so I can't see ANYTHING on the screen, this is what is happening when I try reset:
1. Remove & replace battery
2. Hold volume down, then press Power whilst holding
3. Four seconds later release volume down
4. Press volume down
5. Press power button (Phone then vibrates briefly)
6. Press Volume Up
7. Wait for reboot....
Problem is that the phone doesn't seem to reboot no matter how long I wait (I never hear the start-up sound/no buttons become active.)!
I have WaveSecure installed, so I did a remote Backup to check if the phone had been reset but it hadn't, I still had data on there!! I have no performed a Remote Wipe with WaveSecure but I don't know if it deletes things like Saved Passwords from the browser!
I'm running the stock HTC 2.1.
Any help is appreciated, I really need to get the hard reset working!
Thanks!
Got it working
Not sure what I did but I kept trying it over and over and when I booted the phone and tried phoning it I realised the ringtone was back to default, so I did eventually get the hard reset working!
my daughter has put a personal pin on my htc phone and has had way too many attempts at trying to unlock it pleeaaaase someone out there must know how to unlock the personal lock not the network just the personal pin
your help would be greatly appreciated thank you

This will delete all the data on the phone, but will allow you to use it. From the HTC website:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
Press and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and END CALL/POWER buttons.
When you see a warning message on screen, press the VOLUME DOWN button to perform the factory reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
After factory reset is complete, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restart your phone.

Hello guys
I have wildfire with android 2.2.1, these day touch for my phone is not working properly.
* it automatically dials random number in call history
* Touch turns so hard to access (some time)
* Touch wont work at few areas on screen.
* Touch not at all working some times, (if i off the screen and turn on the screen back, then it MAY works but only some times) as a result I cant disconnect any on going calls or incoming calls
* Home Button forgot to do its work some times, if I press HOME button it will work as a selection key.
* Notification screen struck up at the middle or somewhere, not able to drag down the lock screen up or down.
uffff... there are some other issues with my WF.
I have did a factory restore and formated my Memory Card. but it still continues.
can someone let me know what can I do before taking it servicing center.
Have you tried wiping it from the bootloader?
I dont know how to do it...
can u let me know ?
Turn the phone off
To get into HBOOT press and hold volume up and power
And then I think you need to press clear storage.

Yes, those instructions are correct, I have did it. Its better as of now. I'll monitor it for more hours (24+) and report back the status for your tweak.
Thanks nejc212

To get into hboot, switch off the device and hold the vol down + power button.
There u can clear storage (=factory reset).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To OP:
Do one thing. Remove the memory card, and format the phone. Donot insert the memory card or connect to any internet networks. Use the phone for a while like this. If u feel it is OK, then ur phone is OK.
Forget your gmail password / screen lock or you locked out? No Problem!
This option will wipe all your data! S be warned!
If you are in our area, we can recover your lost data!
I am not responsible for anything if you brick/ break/ or through your cell away! Ok? (won't happen if you follow my directions.
OK. Here are the easy steps!
1) Turn Your Phone Off
2) Hold Volume +UP And -Down
3) While holding those 2 volume buttons, Hit the Power Button. Then release all.
4) You will see a black screen with a RECOVERY option (#2)
5) Hit RECOVERY with the power button
6) You will now see a triangle with an image on it
7) Hold the up / down volume and tap the power button. then release all.
8) see the wipe / reset option now? Hit That option!
9) Now Wipe Cache
10) Reboot
11) Tadaaaahhhh!
12 Extra) Here is a cool trick...
13) On the android setup on boot tap the upper left, upper right, lower right, and lower left corners without touching the setup buttons. Check that out!
Enjoy this cool device! (Another successful repair at Legacy Tech Computer Repair. Time for Root! I'll post that method later!)
UPDATE! Just found out this method won't wipe your internal storage for the picks / music etc! EVEN BETTER!

6) You will now see a triangle with an image on it
7) Hold the down Volume Down / Power and tap the Volume Up Button. then release all. ( Basic Logic derived from the orignal post was Select button is VOLUME UP thus - whereever Power Button is doing the selection in above post use Volume Up Button )
8) see the wipe / reset option now? Hit That option!
9) Now Wipe Cache
10) Reboot
11) Tadaaaahhhh!
