How do i hard-reset my 3ds?

I bought a 3ds at gamestop, and when I tried to access the internet, it had parental controls from the previous owner. I cant figure out the pin number, so I need some way to hard reset it.

From Nintendo's website: www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/ts_settings.jsp?
menu=parental%20controls&submenu=ctr-ts-settings-parental-controls-forgot

I had to break up the URL because it was too long.
