Folks:<BR>
<BR>
I think I've cracked it - basically by guessing which buttons they were likely to use for reset - I knew the two required for E2 reset so I thought that three wouldn't be beyond them for the E3.<BR>
<BR>
1. Remove power cord from E3<BR>
2. Hold down: DELETE, STOP and HANDSFREE together<BR>
3. Keep holding all three and insert power cord<BR>
4. Keep holding all three - E3 boots as normal but after about 15/20 seconds displays message "Initialising system" (I can't remember the exact wording)<BR>
5. Keep holding until you have your final screen which prompts you to register as a new user (you may let go now)<BR>
6. Old address book entries and other previously stored information is gone. <BR>7. Have a cup of tea.<BR>
<BR>
Best regards<BR>

Jason:<BR> <BR>I found your question on the E3 forum: <A href="http://www.mail-archive.com/e3-hacking@earth.li/msg00028.html" target=_blank>http://www.mail-archive.com/e3-hacking@earth.li/msg00028.html</A><BR> <BR>I just bought three of the E3 machines from e-bay and I'm having no joy trying to reset them back to factory state.<BR> <BR>I seem to be stuck with the usernames and accounts from the previous owners.<BR> <BR>Your reply would oblige.<BR> <BR>Many thanks,<BR> <BR>James Doherty<BR>County Tyrone<BR> </body>
