The serial number for you device is at offset 0x200. It is a thirteen digit number starting after "SN: " (or something like that). Replacing the serial number with zeroes makes it easy to find.

Everything else is in the user partition. Wiping that will solve the problem. Doing that in a way that writes zeroes everywhere would make it very compressible. Removing the database, version file and config file would also remove your details. These will all get regenerated at startup and the missing database will mean the device does the basic setup.
