From the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3800 Series Reference Guide:


1. Press and hold the two outside application buttons.
2. Insert the stylus into the unit reset switch at the bottom of your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.
3. Press the switch for 5 seconds.

The "outside application buttons" are the Calendar and iTask buttons. You have to keep them held down while you do the soft reset.

I hate when that happens. :-) But at least you added the part about getting the iPAQ restarted.
