Users sometimes ask how they can reset their system -- this is called factory reset
. [1] Two major methods exist.
- Re-install method: Delete Kicksecure ™ -- (or VM users: just delete VMs intended) for factory reset -- and re-install the most recent (stable) version of Kicksecure ™. This is a "cleaner" and more comprehensive method which will return the system to near vendor defaults. However, this option is less convenient as important user data must first be migrated (if applicable). See also Update vs Image Re-Installation.
- Reset settings method: This will reset settings to vendor defaults as much as possible. This method is imperfect and cannot undo all user modifications or solve all issues.

In the Kicksecure ™ case it is not really a
factory reset
because at the time of writing the platform is software-only and not hardware-related. Therefore, strictly speaking no factory defaults exist. However,vendor settings reset
is harder for users to understand andfactory reset
has a nicer ring to it.
