I seem to recall the hard reset for the kindle keyboard is to hold the power button for 60 seconds. I know I've done it in the past as there was no menu option then to do a hard reset. Another method if that fails is to restart it 7 times. I know that one worked when I was trying to resurrect my brother's kindle (needed a new battery).
