Claims12
A method for resetting a system to a factory default setting, comprising:
- disconnecting-connecting a power source repeatedly;
- detecting whether a count value of disconnecting-connecting the power source has exceeded a predetermined value;
- and
- triggering a procedure of resetting the system to a factory default setting when the count value has exceeded the predetermined value.
The method for resetting a system to a factory default setting as claimed in claim 2, further comprising:
- executing a normal procedure according to an original setting when the count value has not exceeded the predetermined value.
A device for resetting a system to a factory default setting, wherein the system is connected to a power source, the device comprising:
- a detection unit, configured to detect an action of disconnecting-connecting the system to the power source and keep count of a count value of disconnecting-connecting the system to the power source;
- and
- a decision unit, configured to trigger the resetting of the system to a factory default setting when the count value has exceeded a predetermined value.
A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a system to perform a method for resetting the system to a factory default setting, wherein the system is connected to a power source, and the method comprises:
- disconnecting-connecting the power source repeatedly;
- detecting whether a count value of disconnecting-connecting the power source has exceeded a predetermined value;
- and
- triggering a procedure of resetting the system to a factory default setting when the count value has exceeded the predetermined value.
