Device Wipe Instructions

After your chromebook has been released by the FUHSD management system it still needs to be “wiped” to fully remove any settings or restrictions the Chromebook may have.

To wipe your Chromebook, please carefully follow these instructions.

  1. Make sure your Chromebook is completely turned off
  2. Press Esc+ ↻ +Power. (All three buttons at the same time)
  3. A yellow exclamation point (!) or "Please insert a recovery USB stick" is displayed.
  4. Press Ctrl+D to begin Developer mode, then press Enter.
    1. a. Display will say “OS Verification is off.”
  5. Press Ctrl+D.
  6. The Chromebook deletes its local data, returning to its initial state. This can take approximately 40 minutes. (Be patient here. We’ve tested. It takes a while.)
  7. When the transition completes, press the spacebar, then press Enter to return to Verified mode.

Now the Chromebook is yours, without any restrictions, and can be logged in to with any Google

account.
