  5. Press Ctrl + D. The Chromebit reboots and starts the transition to developer mode. This clears all local data, a process that takes approximately 10 minutes.
    If Forced re-enrollment is enabled for the device, you’ll see a note that developer mode is blocked. This shortens the wipe process, and still allows for re-enrollment when the device automatically reboots into verified mode.
  6. At the startup screen, press the spacebar, and then press Enter to reboot the device and return to verified mode.
  7. If you’re using a managed Chromebit for your school or business, follow these steps to enroll the device.
