====== Factory Reset ======

==== Warning ====
    * **Never perform a factory reset with xochitl disabled.** This will create a new SSH password, which you will not be able to see now that xochitl is not starting up. So you will lose access to your device.
    * If anything goes terribly wrong, you can try to [[https://remarkablewiki.com/trouble/start|recover]] your device.

Factory reset will not restore the root partition i.e. files that you added or removed, so **be very careful**. Always revert your systemd services to make sure that third-party launchers are disabled and xochtil is enabled before performing a factory reset through the UI. If you use [[https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec|Toltec]], you should uninstall it and all its packages by running ''toltecctl uninstall'' instead.

The only use of a factory reset is to remove the config and all the documents from the device if you want to give it to someone else.

  - Use [[https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-update|remarkable-update]] to install the latest version of the OS on both root partitions (basically, just go through the process twice).
  - Make sure everything is working properly, and then perform a factory reset from the device interface.
