Powerwash

ChromeOS's factory-reset function. Wipes a Chromebook back to defaults — including any parental controls — unless the device is school-managed or locked by Family Link.

How kids use it

On a personal Chromebook, make sure your child isn't the owner account, or they can Powerwash and re-set-up the device without controls.
