You can reset it using a soft or hard reset. The following instructions provide you with information on how to reset the Nokia 5130 using both methods.

• Soft Reset

The soft reset is often the better option if you are worried about losing data. There is a chance the soft reset will also default to the factory settings, but there is a bigger chance that it will not. With a soft reset you will enter in *#7380#. This tends to clear any pending errors and on most phones it will help your phone work properly.

• Hard Reset
• The code for Hard Reset is *#7370#. Enter these digits into the phone and press yes to confirm. This will start the initialization process. Make certain you have already saved all important data. You do not want to lose your contacts, memo, or other information due to a hard reset. You may have issues with a Nokia phone that is not turned on. If there are problems such as these you can try hitting three buttons simultaneously. Hit the +*+3. If you can hit these three buttons all at once you may be able to get the phone to turn on, and then you can go through the hard reset with the proper codes.
  

These codes work with all of the Nokia models including the 5130. You may find other options do exist such as the power button while pressing the space key and delete key, and caps/ shift button will also hard reset the phone.
It all depends on whether or not the *# keys work. Sometimes they won't work if the phone is in phone lock or key pad lock and you need to get it open first.

Try with 12345 or
0000

hey bro restore the factory setting of ur cell phone by dialing *#7780#
or You can hard reset the phone memory by *#7370#
For this u need to know the code of the cell phone default code is 1234
Note---Hard reset will delete all the data in the phone memory including CONTACTS so before doing this move all ur contacts to sim or somewhere else.

On these devices you cannot apply the soft or hard reset codes, you can only revert them to the factory settings. Your only try would be reinstalling the firmware through Nokia Software Updater:

Are you trying to do a hard reset on your phone? this is what that code is used for. after you do the hard reset it will ask for the factory code its 12345. Warning if you do this reset your phone will be put back to factory and any user info you put in will be wiped out. Here is Nokias weblink to explain it more.

Restoring it to factory settings will erase all the info you have on the phone. But doing so will improve the phones speed.
