Have you look at http://www.chauveau-central.net/pub/KoboTouch/ for his instructions on doing a factory reset

Factory Reset

Hacking a device like the Kobo Touch is always a bit dangerous. It is obviously not going to explode by there is always a risk of making it unusable.

Fortunately, the Touch provides 2 methods to restore the original 1.9.0 firmware:
  1. If the original Nickel software is still working then
    1. Press the Settings icon.
    2. Select the Device Information icon.
    3. Select the FACTORY RESET button.
  2. else simply keep the Home button pressed during the boot process

It should be noted that a factory reset REMOVES ALL EBOOKS from the device. Ebooks bought from Kobo will be automatically reinstalled when the device is re-configured but other ebooks are definitely lost.

Remark: The device can be restarted by inserting a pin in the small hole at the back but that does not seem to restore the factory settings.
