Windows Central Question

I have a Microsoft Lumia 535 but im wanting to sell it on ebay to upgrade to a newer phone but the problem is that the touch screen doesnt work as it has some minor cracks on the screen but to sell it i need to completely reset the phone by going into settings and about and then reset but i can only get as far as the about page before i cant press the area around the reset button so is there a way to reset from a pc or some other way without the touch? (i know i could buy a new screen but im trying not to go that way till i know for sure theres no solution)
 
You can use the remote wipe from the "find my phone" page.

I'm not sure it's going to be worth selling though, if it's basically unusable.
 
It's worth sod all as it's unusable in it's current condition, add in the fact it's cheap to buy a new one with warranty drives your used price down to 0.
 
A simple thing. Just toggle the rotation lock off. Go to the settings while in landscape mode and then the reset button will be accessible to you. Simple as that
