So, what needs to be restored after a factory reset?

A factory reset restores the device to as-new. So you set everything up just as you set it up in the first place. The exception is that the reset doesn't touch the SD card, so if you keep all your books there (I always do this), your books will all be exactly where you left them. Then you just go through the settings in order and set up the same way you did before.
If you're not remotely tech-savvy (and none of this is particularly tricky stuff IMO), find your instruction booklet and follow that. Or find a handy thread at mobileread, like this one

Or follow the user guides at the Kobo website:

Or you could just skip to the meat of things, and follow Kobo's specific instructions on factory resetting, which they provide here, question 10:
