You can do this with ADB from the Android developper Kit (ADK).
Connect to your phone in development mode and use the command WIPE DATA.

Some phone also have a "Clear data" in the recovery menu....all depends on the type of your phone.... but ADB should work independant of the phone type.
Hope it helps.

Try booting into stock recovery (vol down and power up phone, continue to hold vol down until recovery appears) then if your on eclair tap the bottom right corner of the screen and use the volume rocker to select wipe data and tap OK.

If your not on eclair and your running froyo you should already know how to do this. If not press vol up and vol down together instead of tapping on lower right screen. That will pull up menu
