neither of the 2 suggestions above work.

Are you following this process exactly?

1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.

2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

I am still having a problem with doing a hard reset. I am holding down the ok and the windows buttons and they are not showing me the message. Just getting the password is not correct please put in the following code and not able to use the touch screen may cause a problem?

Hard Reset:
On the 02 Orbit2, make sure the phone is powered on and then press AND HOLD the Windows and OK buttons down at the same time, THEN use your stylus to press AND RELEASE the reset button (while you CONTINUE to hold down the Windows and OK buttons). You should get a grey-ish/white screen explaining how to complete the hard reset or how to cancel the operation.

If you cannot see anything on your screen due to the OS being totally messed up (in other words, as long as it's not hardware failure), then you need to put your device into bootloader mode (4-color screen) so that you can flash the ROM (either what you already are using, or a newly cooked one - either way you need to have a ROM image file on your computer to complete the flashing process).

Bootloader Mode:
To enter bootloader mode, press AND HOLD the camera button and then press AND RELEASE the soft reset with your stylus. When the screen is showing the 4 color bands, plug in the USB cable between your computer and phone flash the ROM.
