Resetting to Factory Settings
You can reset your NOOK to factory settings. You might want to do this before selling your NOOK, for example.
Resetting your NOOK deletes all B&N content from your NOOK. It also deletes all personal content from your NOOK’s internal memory. Make sure anything you want to keep is backed up to your personal computer. Resetting your NOOK to factory settings does not unregister your NOOK. You must unregister your NOOK first.
Resetting your NOOK to factory settings:
•Deletes B&N content on your NOOK
•Deletes personal content in the internal memory
•Does not delete personal content on a supplemental microSD card if present. Delete personal content using USB or remove the microSD card as appropriate.
•Deletes all metadata (for example, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and current reading position)
•Deletes information used to unlock
•Resets settings to factory defaults.
To reset your NOOK factory settings:
Unregister your NOOK as a separate, prior step. Resetting to factory defaults does not delete content on a supplemental microSD card. Delete content using USB or remove the card as appropriate.
1On the Home menu, tap settings.
2Unregister your NOOK. Tap Device > Unregister your nook. If the unregistration does not succeed, make sure you have network connectivity and try again later.
3After the unregistration succeeds, reset your NOOK to factory settings. Tap Device > Reset to factory settings. Then tap Confirm twice.
