    I'm returning a chromebook that I purchased and needed to return to factory mode (and wipe any personal info). This worked like a charm! Best tech advice ever, thanks Oliver.

    Wow, I am sooo glad I ran across your video. I have spent so many hours for nothing but frustration trying to reboot my Chromebook using the supposed recovery tool. What a complete waste of time. I tried this and BOOM, done, up and running. Fantastic job.
    Thank you so much!

    I'm a computer tech who never works on chromebooks. I was giving one who the client wants to give to a friend but, it has a password that the client forgot. Needless to say, I didn't know how to reset a Chromebook until I type"How To Reset A Chomebook" This wonderful gentleman who's channel I'm now on, showed how easy it is to reset the chromebook. I wish to thank you for allowing me the knowledge to do such a thing. Thank you so very much. I will subscribe to your channel. I"m hooked now!

    I had my last day of school a couple days ago and my school let us keep the chrome books and I would get a new one next year (I just graduated middle school so I’ll get a new one in freshman year). They told us all the restrictions and stuff would be taken off but they still haven’t done anything and I’m impatient so I’ve decided to do it myself. When I do it will everything including my school email and any other important school things be deleted completely? Will I be able to log into my school email on my new chromebook if I wipe this one?
