What you are seeing is the screen known as the bootloader. This is normally accessed by holding the camer button.
When doing the hard reset you should be holding the softbuttons then power on. As soon as the phone starts release the power button.

Just in case you are not sure 'softbuttons' are the 2 buttons under the screen that do different things depending on which screen you are in (hence 'soft' rather than 'hard' coded) when you hold these down while reseting yopur screen should go white with a message saying press 0 to continue.
