Resetting your Chromebox

There  may  be  times  when  you  want  to  reset  your  Chromebox  (for
example,  removing  your  personal  information  and  settings).
Completely  resetting  your  Chromebox  is  known  as  "Powerwashing",
which  is  basically  factory  resetting  your  computer.  After
powerwashing,  your  Chromebox  will  look  like  it  did  out  of  the  box
(including  all  apps  that  came  pre-installed).  To  powerwash  your
Chromebox, do the following:

1. Select the 

Status

 area of the shelf in the lower-right corner of the

screen (where your account picture appears).

2. Select 

Settings 

 icon.

3. Select 

Advanced.

4. In the 

Reset

 section, select 

Powerwash

.

5. Select 

RESTART

.

Important

Do  not  modify  your  Chromebox’s  hardware  yourself.  Doing  so  will
cause the update function to no longer work. Please get in touch with
your dealer or an authorized service center. Visit www.acer.com to find
an authorized service site.

Important

Powerwashing your Chromebox will remove all local settings, data, and
programs from your hard drive. Backup any data on your hard drive that
is not saved online by moving it to Google Drive and waiting for it to
sync.
