It is that easy, and apparently this security loophole is corrected in
iOS5. My instructions were dual; holding both buttons until the Apple
logo appears performs a 'Hard reset', erasing all data and settings.
continuing to hold the 'Home' button until the 'Plug-in' logo appears
puts the iPad in 'Recovery mode' allowing you to plug into iTunes to
restore the firmware and start life anew.(A wiped clean brick is still
a brick)

I don't think it is quite that easy, doing that is the equivalent of
pulling the power cord on a desktop. I just did it to my iPad and
everything is still fine.

Hold the power button and button at bottom down together for about
a minute. That should factory reset the unit . All apps and data
will be lost.
