Factory Reset
Factory Reset returns the px2-300d to its original state. This feature is useful if you give your px2-300d to
someone else.
Factory Reset provides two options for returning your px2-300d to its original state:
●
Quickly delete all data — permanently deletes all record of existing or deleted data, users, and
passwords.
●
Securely delete all data — this option takes significantly longer, but provides an added security
benefit by permanently erasing all data on the drives to prevent recovery of existing or deleted
data, users, and passwords. The secure delete operation renders all data irrecoverable.
You can use the factory reset feature only to erase the drives internal to the px2-300d. You cannot
use this feature to reset any external storage devices that may be connected.
1. Choose one of the following options:
●
Quickly delete all data
●
Securely delete all data
2. From the After Reset drop-down menu, choose to Restart or Power off the px2-300d after the
factory reset completes.
3. Click Apply.
4. In the pop-up confirmation, click Yes to perform the factory reset. After the factory reset
completes, the px2-300d powers down or restarts depending on your selection.
When you quickly delete or securely delete all data on your LenovoEMC, Ltd., any installed
applications, as listed on the
Application Manager page, are also deleted. Go to
www.lifelineapps.com to download and reinstall your applications. In addition, you should visit the
LenovoEMC support web site for specific information on reinstalling applications that came
preloaded with your px2-300d.
