The reset button (the one activated by the paperclip) is only effective when the NXT is actually powered up. So the first step is to push the orange ENTER button to "power on" the NXT into its corrupted state.

There may be enough residual power in capacitors and such that will keep acorrupted NXT powered if batteries are only removed for a few seconds. A more failsafe method is to remove the batteries, hold the ENTER key down for a few seconds (which will cause more of a power drain than idle condition) and then re-insert batteries.
