    highlight the activity you want to change, go to the status tab, uncheck the finish date, change the physical % complete back to zero, reset the actual & remaining labor units (budgeted quantity)in the labour units box, then you should be able to uncheck the start date, it will ask you Are you sure that you want to change the activity to be Not Started? Jusk click yes and it should work

    Hope this helps,
