Parental control password loss part 2 - worst than expected

So after >1 year of a really satisfactory experience with my kid using e/os, I wanted to remove the parental control password, but it turned out that the password I was keeping was not the right one. We joined this nice thread:

https://community.e.foundation/t/parental-control-password-loss

and it seemed it all amounted to backup, reinstall, and restore. We didn’t dive straight into it, since that was a non trivial process and my son had a busy time. We are trying now, and we did the backup, but it turns out that we cannot reinstall eos at all. After all, I cannot activate usb debugging, or do any of the required steps to install E/OS…

Am I missing something? It would seem that without the parental password, the phone will be locked into kid’s mode for ever, wouldn’t it? Even when he becomes an adult…

Regards

Oh, I see I can boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset… will research that, there are several options…

Everything’s going fine. Sorry for the noise :blush:
