Doing so removes all data and configuration information from the device, then the device is securely erased and restored to original, factory settings.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1e6dab;\">Important: <\/span>On iPhone and iPhone 3G, wiping overwrites the data on the device and can take approximately one hour for each 8 GB of device capacity. Connect the device to a power supply before wiping. If the device turns off due to low power, the wiping process resumes when the device is connected to power. On iPhone 3GS, wiping removes the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption) and occurs instantaneously.<\/p>\n<p>With Exchange Server 2007, you can initiate a remote wipe using the Exchange Management Console, Outlook Web Access, or the Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool.<\/p>\n<p>With Exchange Server 2003, you can initiate a remote wipe using the Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool.<br \/>\nUsers can also wipe a device in their possession by choosing \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Erase All Content and Settings\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from the Reset menu in General settings.
