How do I restore a unit that has an OS prior to CE 5.0 Pro to factory defaults?
To restore the registry of a unit that has an OS prior to CE 5.0 Pro to factory default, you have to delete or edit the registry file saved on the DOM. There are three options: • – turn on the unit and during first stage of boot (Bos splash bitmap with progress bar) press Ctrl+C to exit the boot program and go to the DOS prompt. The text color is black so you cannot see what you are typing. – type cd docume~1 – type echo a > system.hv – reboot the terminal • – boot the device from an USB device with DOS – type d: or c: to point the DOM (with a bios version the DOM drive letter is “d:” with other bios the DOM is “c:”) – type cd docume~1 – type echo a > system.hv – reboot the terminal • – ftp to unit’s IP – sign in with admin admin – type bin
