If you're looking to remove all your Displays Settings, WiFi credentials, or simply start over with your DAKboard OS device (AKA factory reset) follow the instructions below. These changes will not affect your Custom Screens, and will not remove the Display from your account, it will just return the Display's Settings back to the factory defaults.
