Description:

To enroll a device into Chrome Device Management (CDM) requires a factory reset.

 

How to factory reset AOPEN:

  1. Attach a USB keyboard to the device.
  2. Turn off the Chromebase.
  3. Put a paperclip (or pushpin) into the recovery buttonhole.

  4. Press down the recovery button with the paperclip while turning on the device.
  5. Press Ctrl+D.
  6. Press the recovery button with the paperclip again.
    The device restarts and displays a red exclamation point.
  7. Press Ctrl+D.
    The Chromebase restarts and starts the transition to developer mode. This clears all local data and takes approximately 10 minutes.
    Note: If forced re-enrollment is enabled for the device, you'll see a note that developer mode is blocked. This shortens the wipe process and still allows for re-enrollment when the device automatically restarts in verified mode.
  8. At the startup screen, press the space bar, then press the enter key to restart the device and return to verified mode.
  9. If you're using a managed Chromebase, follow these steps to enroll the device.
