Factory Reset - Lenovo ix2 User Manual

Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns the ix2 to its original state. This feature is useful if you give your ix2 to someone
else.
Factory Reset provides two options for returning your ix2 to its original state:
Quickly delete all data — permanently deletes all record of existing or deleted data, users, and
●
passwords.
Securely delete all data — this option takes significantly longer, but provides an added security
●
benefit by permanently erasing all data on the drives to prevent recovery of existing or deleted
data, users, and passwords. The secure delete operation renders all data irrecoverable.
You can use the factory reset feature only to erase the drives internal to the ix2. You cannot use
this feature to reset any external storage devices that may be connected.
