# Factory Reset
6+
7+
Performing a full reset of your TurtleBot 4 is a two-step process:
8+
1. the Create® 3 must be reset, and
9+
2. the Raspberry Pi's SD card must be reset.
10+
11+
## Resetting the Create® 3
12+
13+
To reset the Create® 3 to factory settings, [first open the Create® 3 webserver](../setup/basic.md#accessing-the-create-3-webserver).
14+
Click on the `About` tab in the upper right corner.
15+
16+
<figure class="aligncenter">
17+
<img src="media/about_button.png" alt="About tab" style="width: 70%;"/>
18+

19+
</figure>
20+
21+
```note
22+
If you are unable to access the Create® 3 webserver on port `8080` of the TurtleBot 4's Raspberry Pi you may need to put your Create® 3 into Access Point mode and connect to it directly. Press and hold buttons 1 and 2 on the Create® 3 until the light ring shows a spinning blue light.
23+
24+
Once the Create® 3 is in Access Point mode, connect your laptop to the Create® 3's wifi network and navigate to http://192.168.10.1 to access the Create® 3 web server.
25+
```
26+
27+
Scroll to the very bottom of the `About` screen. There you will find a hyperlink marked `Factory Reset`. Click this hyperlink to perform a factory reset of the Create® 3.
28+
29+
<figure class="aligncenter">
30+
<img src="media/factory_reset.png" alt="Factory reset link" style="width: 70%;"/>
31+
<figcaption>Click on the Factory Reset link to reset the Create® 3</figcaption>
32+
</figure>
33+
34+
The Create® 3 factory reset link will reset all user configurations, but will not reinstall the firmware. ROS namespaces,
35+
domain IDs, custom safety parameters, and any custom networking configurations will all be deleted.
36+
37+
## Resetting the Raspberry Pi
38+
39+
To reset the Raspberry Pi, [reinstall the SD card image](../setup/basic.md#install-latest-raspberry-pi-image).
40+
This will permanently delete all information on the SD card; make sure you have any essential data backed up.
41+
42+
## After reset
43+
44+
After you have reset your TurtleBot 4, proceed to [connect it to wifi](../setup/basic.md#connect-the-raspberry-pi-to-your-network) and
45+
[pair the controller](../setup/basic.md#turtlebot-4-controller-manual-setup).
