Hello, I purchased a chrome book off of craigslist. I found that it was a managed device ive tried several ways of rebooting , power wash, esc, refresh, power even reinstalling the operating system, but didn’t get any accurate results. Is there a way I can go inside the chromebook and reset it from there? It’s kinda useless as a home laptop if I can’t do anything on it. The model is a Dell chromebook 11 Any tricks to return it to factory ??
Depending on the newness of the model removing the program screw will not remove the management. It’s up the to the business or place thats managing the device to release the management. You can perform a simple powerwash which is ESC+REFRESH+POWER then CTRL+D then space bar and enter. This will wash the device but depending on the managment you may need credentials from the original manager to enroll the device.
you turn off your chromebook and press ctrl+esc+refresh+power button than ctrl+d than enter than ctrl+d then you have to take out the write protect screw near the HDMI port you have to open the chrome book though it will reboot factory reset.
