Turning on Narrator in ease of access made phone Unresponsive. What do I do?

Turning on Narrator in ease of access made phone Unresponsive.

I have a lumia 620 with WP8.1dp . When I turned on the Narrator in Ease Of Access in settings. my phone became unresponsive. touch stopped and the back, start and search buttons became unresponsive. Also Yellow borders appeared wherever i touched the screen. Restarting the Phone didn't solve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to do a hard reset using hardware buttons? help me!

re:

I had the same problem yesterday. Accidentally enabled narrator which is i think a feature for blind people as the phone reads whichever i click. But when I restarted the phone, the narrator was disabled but got enabled automatically in few secs like around 20 - 30 secs. So I restarted it again and i disabled it in ease of access as soon as possible and it went off after that.

re:

Hold the "Volume Up" button and then tap the "Start/Windows" button. This will disable narrator. In narrator mode, you have to double tap on everything to make it work, which is why it looks like it's being unresponsive.

It's pretty to simple to switch off narrator.

Just press the volume up key. Then tap the start key once.

Double tap at an instant after tapping the start key once.

Narrator Switches Off!

re:

Same problem, tried everyone's advice but still nothing. Windows/Start is unresponsive when locked, and still does nothing when holding Volume+ simultaneously. Can't get passed lock screen even when I enter code. Turned off/on several times. Please help before it ends up at the bottom of the pool... Stuck with Windows for over 6 years in hopes they'd catch up, but Microsoft still isn't even compatible with Adobe when they're owned by the same guy!! :angry:

This happened with me too...you have to double tap every thing to work and stop that barking ease assistant
And if you have password you must tap every no twice like double tap and as you unlock try volume up then instantly double tap windows key

Umm... Microsoft and Adobe are not the same company - far from it.

The name is kinda ironic though... "Ease of access"...
And when you enable the magnifier, scrolling becomes laggy and jittery... Go try it for yourself
