Dell Chromebook 3100 Service Manual
Reset Chromebook
This page contains all information about resetting Dell Chromebook 3100.
All local user data stored on the Chromebook can be cleared by resetting it to its original factory state (also known as Powerwash).
This step might be helpful if you want to reset owner permissions or if you are experiencing issues with your user profile.
NOTE: All data stored
on your Chromebook such as downloaded files, photos, owner permissions,
and saved networks, will be deleted for all accounts when performing
a factory reset. After clearing this data, you will be guided through
the initial setup again. Resetting your device will not affect your
accounts themselves, or any data synced to these accounts.
NOTE: Do not follow
the instructions below if you're using a managed Chrome device, as
you will not be able to re-enroll your device after powerwashing it.
Follow these steps to reset your Chromebook to its original factory state:
- Click the status area in the lower-right corner,
where your account picture appears.
- Click Settings as highlighted
from the screenshot below.
- Click Show advanced settings to expand the menu.
- Click the Powerwash button.
- Click Restart when prompted.
You can also reset your Chromebook from the sign-in screen by holding down the keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R and clicking Restart. (If you are signed in to your Chromebook, sign out first before you press on Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R, then click Restart. Once the Chromebook is restarted, click Reset.)
After you restart the Chromebook, you should now see the setup screen. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up your Chromebook again. Make sure you sign in with your primary Google Account, because this account is set as the owner account.
