ESC+REFRESH+POWER CTRL+D ENTER (++, then +, then ) is one of the most evil way to ruin someone's Chromebook. This factory resets the hard drive, deleting all useful files in the Downloads folder and removing all app data. No one except Chrome OS developers understand why it is so easy to factory reset the hard drive. In fact, you don't need the password to do so (This is such a security issue). First, pressing ++ will cause the White Screen of Death (Very similar to Blue Screen of Death in Windows) to appear. Then + will wipe the hard drive (It prompts you to make sure that you really want to, pressing ).
Instructions[edit | edit source]
- Press ++. It will say that Chrome OS is screwed up, but who cares? And it actually isn't screwed up like how it says it is, so you can go back if you want to.
- Wait at least 10 seconds. Then press +.
- Press . This will confirm that you really want to wipe all data.
- Note that you may have to press enter again to confirm again.
- Feel ashamed. You now screwed up someone's Chromebook. Or don't, you supervillain.
Notes:[edit | edit source]
- ↑ If you use this trick to escape your school's chromebook security, I... applaud you? I don't know what to say.
