##7780##* Factory reset

This seems a bit dangerous. Does it require any kind of password?

I just tried it on an HTC Incredible 2 on Verizon. Nothing happened. No error message, just back to the dialer.

EDIT: I see now it was stated these are SIII specific. Guess that explains why nothing happened for me.
