[h=3]To erase your phone[/h]

1. On your computer, open a web browser and go to windowsphone.com.
   
2. Navigate to the My Phone dropdown menu, located in the upper-right corner of the screen, then sign in with the same Windows Live ID you use on your phone.
   
3. In the My Phone menu, click Find My Phone.
   
4. Click Erase. On the confirmation screen, do one of the following:
   
   • To start erasing your phone, select I'm sure! Please erase my phone now, and then click Erase.
   • If you've changed your mind, click Cancel.
   [h=3]Warning[/h] Be careful! This is your last chance to back out.
