Factory Reset
Factory reset
The WiFi Pineapple Pager can be factory reset to the stock version of the current firmware installed on the device.
Performing a factory reset removes all configuration, settings, captured handshakes, custom themes, stored loot, payloads, and all other data from the device, and returns it to a like-new state.
Performing a factory reset
To perform a factory reset:
- Ensure the WiFi Pineapple Pager is powered off
- Hold down the ‘B’ button (the left-most red button)
- Power on the WiFi Pineapple pager, keeping the ‘B’ button held down
- Continue holding the ‘B’ button until the factory reset screen appears (approximately 30 seconds)
- Release the button when the factory reset screen appears, then make a selection using the ‘B’ button to cancel or the ‘A’ (green right-hand button) to continue
When prompted to make a selection on the factory reset screen, pressing the ‘B’ button (red) will cancel the factory reset process and continue booting normally. Pressing the ‘A’ button (green) will begin the factory reset process immediately.
Once started, the factory reset process will take approximately 15 minutes to completely reset the device. During this time, the red and green LEDs will blink.
Be sure you wish to remove all data from the device before confirming the factory reset process. Once started, the factory reset can not be stopped, and data can not be recovered.
Once the ‘A’ button is pressed and the factory reset begins, it can not be cancelled and data can not be recovered. Be sure you wish to remove all data from your device.
