Backing up, resetting, and recovering10

This chapter provides information about processes that are standard procedure for most products.

Backing up

You can back up your data to an optional USB ash drive or SD memory card or through Google Drive.

For detailed information about creating a backup, go to http://www.support.google.com.

Resetting

A factory reset erases all the information on your computer hard drive, including all the les in the Downloads

folder. Before you reset, make sure to back up your les to an optional USB ash drive, SD memory card, or

through Google Drive. The factory reset will not delete any of your les on Google Drive or an external storage

device.

IMPORTANT: Resetting permanently erases everything on your computer hard drive, including your

downloaded les. If possible, back up your les before you reset your computer.

You might want to reset your computer in the following circumstances:

● You see the message "Reset this Chrome device."

● You are having problems with your user prole or settings.

● You have tried restarting your computer, and it is still not working properly.

● You want to change the owner of your computer.

To reset your computer:

1. Under the Settings menu, click Advanced.

2. In the Powerwash section, click Powerwash.

3. Click Restart, and then sign in with your Google Account.

NOTE: The account you sign in with after you reset your computer will be recognized as the owner

account.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your computer.

5. Once you complete the reset, you can set up your computer and check to see whether the problem is

xed.

Recovering

When your Chrome OS™ operating system is not working properly, you can perform a recovery. A recovery

reinstalls the operating system and software programs and restores the original factory settings. Locally
