Another hardware button combo for hard reseting is:

Enter (Center D-Pad button) + Volume Down + Power + Reset (the recessed button you activate with your stylus).

It's a little tough to hit all those simultaneously, but it can save you a little time if your device doesn't bring up the hard reset screen on your first try with the other method. You can activate a hard reset at any time (device on or device off) with this method, so you don't have to wait for it to power up and then shut down again.
