# Factory Reset

> Erase JetKVM back to its original settings.

A factory reset puts JetKVM back the way it came, erasing its settings and certificates. Use it before you pass the device on, or to start over. If you've only forgotten the password, you can [reset just that](https://jetkvm.com/docs/using-jetkvm/password#reset-password).

## Reset the device

1. Open **Settings** \> **Advanced**.
2. Click **Factory Reset** and confirm. The device restarts.
3. Set it up again as if it were new, including the password and the cloud connection.
