How to wipe clean Nexus 7 with broken screen?

[V00DOO]

I dropped my 1st generation Nexus 7 and cracked the screen. The screen no longer responds to any touch command. I just need to factory reset or wipe it clean. What is the easiest way beside using a hammer?

Thanks.

Thanks, that worked. I kept pressing [Power] + [Volume Up] simultaneously for too long during the Andriod belly-up screen which took me the home screen every time. Just needed to quickly Press [Power] + [Volume Up] to enter the wipe data/factory reset option.
