Restore factory defaults

To restore your system factory defaults, reboot the system to ONIE: Uninstall OS mode.

CAUTION Restoring factory defaults erases any installed operating system and requires a long time to erase storage.

If it is not possible to restore your factory defaults with the installed OS, reboot the system from the Grub menu and select ONIE: Rescue. ONIE Rescue bypasses the installed operating system and boots the system into ONIE until you reboot the system. After ONIE Rescue completes, the system resets and boots to the ONIE console.

  1. Restore the factory defaults on your system from the Grub menu using the ONIE: Uninstall OS command. To select which entry is highlighted, use the up and down arrow keys.

     +--------------------------------------+

  2. Press Enter to activate the console.
