[Q] Factory Reset when volumn up down isn't working

I bought a used N1 and started setting it up before I realized the volume up/down rocker doesn't work. I set up a return with the seller but I would like to do a factory reset first since I set up my mail and stuff.
I have searched around and couldn't come up with a way to factory reset that didn't involve using the volume up/down to navigate.
Anybody know of a way to factory reset without the volume up/down? Can I use the Android SDK adb.exe?
Thanks in advance for any help...

With the phone turned off, press and hold Trackball+Power+Vol down until you see a white screen with 3 Android on skateboards. Select recovery from the menu and clear data.

I can get to the recovery screen via adb reboot recovery but the Volume UP AND the Volume Down buttons aren't working so I can't select anything!!!
Anyone know of another way to reset?

isnt there a way to do a factory data reset from within the ROM's Settings Page
look through settings, im almost certain there is a factory reset button in there

Thanks bagofcrap24, there is a way to do that in the settings.
Settings -> Privacy Setings -> Factory data reset
A Big Thanks!

[Q] Requesting a little assistance!

Okay, so first of all, thanks to all who take the time to actually look at this thread.
The Problem
Okay, so, my little brother has the Galaxy Mini, he set a lock on it (you know the one where you drag your finger to the points on the screen? the 3 x 3 block of circles?) Well, anyway, he forgot his password and has now had his phone "system locked". Anyway, there is an option to sign into his google account on screen though and that would solve the problem, but guess what? Yep, you got it! The little cretin has forgotten his email and password. I tried mine but that didn't work, so I guess it has to be his own.
My question is this: What if anything, can I do to solve this problem?
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help but I tried holidng Volume Up + Home + Power also tried Volume Down + Home + Power and both the screens that came up done nothing at all, am I doing it wrong? One of the screens just had a little Android man with the word "Downloading" on it and another just a black screen with Samsung and something else above it. No options to do anything.

TRY THIS:
take out the SGM battery and put it in back
now you can go in recovery by hold down POWER AND HOME BUTTON and wipe DATA
hope it HELP
If i helped you be sure to click
that THANKS button

Wipe data in recovery that should work for you.

Restart your phone and whilst it's going off hold down the volume down button, this will take you to the bootloaader, once in there, select factory reset using the volume keys and power to select, let it do it's stuff, you will need to set the phone back up once it's back on.

[Q] Does anyone know the key combination of entering recovery mode?

Does anyone know the key combination of entering recovery mode?

Okay ours is a bit weird. With phone off hold power and volume down. When lg logo appears release power and press again. It'll bring up confirmation dialog on a factory reset. Ignore that and hit yes both times. It'll bring up a screen saying authorizing factory reset and then after a moment will boot into your custom recovery. Enjoy

[Q] DBI Apps Watchdog Reset I can't do factory reset or go to recovery

(Sorry for my eanglish)Hi gyus. I broke ma phone, but not totaly. I just want to install cyanogen, so I do much things on phone, but all of my guides are in Polish. I can paste it here but i don't think it will be helpful. So I install revowery TWRP from XDA using aboot v10b when I have v10f system and flashify, but i can't install CM. So i downgrade my system to 10b and than i install recovery. Showed up purple screen, so I turn phon on in download mode and by LG Mobile Support Tool I install oryginal system. Now I can use phone, but I cant go to recovery or do factory reset. When i wan't to do factory by kesy combination vol- + power i can see "Factory Reset Processing..." and after that only black screen. When I wan't to go to recovery by flashify I can only see
DBI Apps Watchdog Reset
DmiGod Crash Handler: DBI Apps Watchdog Reset
Option: SD card ram dump mode.
Push below files to sdcard before test.
rdcookie.txt, rtcookie.txt
Please do following action
1) Ram dump Mode. Please connect USB.
2) Get the ram dump image using QPST Configuration.
3) If sdcard ram dump enabled just wait for reboot.
4) Collect ramdump files from your pc to sdcard.
5) Send e-mail to [email protected]
What I must to do now?

Like you said:
"LG Mobile Support Tool I install oryginal system"
If you flashed the KDZ with LG support tool you don't have a custom recovery now, so your phone doesn't boot to it because it's locked.
You must root, unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery again.

my phone screen is purple with a written white letters: "DBI Apps Watchdog Reset" among other writings as well. What I have quefazer to be able to use it again?
My mobile phone is a L40
