Help Wipe phone with broken screen

I am wanting to sell my note 3. Before I can do that, I must wipe it. My LCD is broken so I can't see anything on the screen. Is there an easy way to reset my phone so that I can sell it? I've tried a lot of things and can't get it to work.

If you have already activated 'Remote Controls' on your device, as per link below, you can now wipe it by using 'Samsung's 'Find my mobile' service. However, on reflection, I guess you have not done that or you would not be asking your question. I can only suggest that you attempt to manually delete the data but if you have not already done, so check out any info you can glean from the XDA site.

A remote wipe will probably be your best bet since you cant see what's on the screen anyway. Have you thought about getting that repaired before selling it?
