[E3-hacking] FW: Factory reset of e3 emailer

[SJSD .]

Folks:
 
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.
 
1. Remove power cord from E3
2. Hold down: DELETE, STOP and HANDSFREE together
3. Keep holding all three and insert power cord
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)
5. Keep holding until you have your final screen which prompts you to register as a new user (you may let go now)
6. Old address book entries and other previously stored information is gone. 
7. Have a cup of tea.
 
Best regards
 
James

Jason:
 
I found your question on the E3 forum: http://www.mail-archive.com/e3-hacking@earth.li/msg00028.html
 
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.
 
I seem to be stuck with the usernames and accounts from the previous owners.
 
Your reply would oblige.
 
Many thanks,
