Press and quickly release the volume up button.
Press and quickly release the volume down button.
Press and hold the side button.

Maybe you should clarify what you mean by "hard reset".

Not everyone uses that term in the same way...

It seems that's not the kind of thing that should leave you wondering if you did it since you presumably have the device in your hand...
