Hold down the power button for about 10-15 seconds until you hear three beeps, and the system will turn off. Turn it back on and go to Settings > System Settings > Restore PS3 System.

Hold the power button until you hear three beeps, release, and then let the system do its thing. Easy peasy!

Turn off your PS3 completely, then press and hold the power button. When you hear a second beep, release the button. This puts the PS3 in Safe Mode, where you can select 'Restore PS3 System' to factory reset it.

Forget the button! Just go to Settings > System Settings > Restore PS3 System for a clean slate.
