Resetting GoFlex Home to Its Original Settings
Resetting GoFlex Home returns the device to its original factory settings. All the files stored
on GoFlex Home are retained—no files or folders are deleted—but all other settings, such as
user accounts and passwords, are removed.
Note: Reset GoFlex Home only if absolutely necessary, to avoid the lengthy task of re-creating user
accounts, re-adding computers to GoFlex Home, reconnecting users to their GoFlex Home
folders, and redoing any custom settings.
To reset GoFlex Home:
1. Make sure that no one is accessing GoFlex Home. No one should be viewing photos,
watching a movie, listening to music, or working with any other file stored on GoFlex Home,
or copying files to or from their GoFlex Home folders.

located on the side of GoFlex Home, as shown in Figure 1 on page 6.
The white drive light blinks to show that GoFlex Home is shutting down. When shutdown is
complete, both lights turn off.
