Hard reset on 70D?

Is there a way on the 70D to do a hard reset like the 7D and others?

Remove the battery for a couple days.

The (!) note on p. 30 of the manual as much as says that. Like most computers and increasingly more DSLRs, the date/time back-up battery is a cell permanently embedded on its circuit board that recharges from the main battery. It's only intended to hold settings for a short time between battery changes or short term storage. It won't hold settings for long term storage like the button battery cells

Thank you ebiggs. I was hoping for a faster solution other then letting the camera sit. But if that is all there is, its all there is 🙂

Thanks for your time and help.
