Video Description

In this video, Timmy shows you how you can factory reset or “powerwash” a Chromebook without signing in to it. This will erase everything from the Chromebook, but if you’re sure you want to proceed, it’s actually quite easy.

Alternatively, if you are able to sign in to the Chromebook, you could also power wash it using this method:

Before you powerwash, if there’s anything on the Chromebook you want to keep, you’ll need to back it up first, Timmy has a full video about that here:

And, if you have anything on your Chromebook you want to keep, but you don’t know the password, this video will give you the best chance of saving it:

After the Chromebook has been reset, you’ll need to set it up again like it’s a brand new Chromebook. The process is fairly simple, but Timmy has a full video on that here:
