I know it SOUNDS sexy: I thought the "security clamp" was some super-secret jumper on the logic board you could yank off once opening the back and getting inside. But sometimes a "security clamp" is just a "security clamp". What I removed was instructions on how to remove the clamp and tether that keeps the store's demo/display unit from ending up in someone's pocket and walking out the door.
I got all excited myself, then downloaded the PDF and figured out what they meant by "security clamp". D'oh!
Anyway, Factory Reset is available on the "Settings" screen, as quoted in that email. There was nothing in this email about being able to do a Factory Set mechanically with buttons once you're frozen, so thanks to poster murg for pointing that light-switch trick out. Pretty useful thing to know.
