Blue Google mini

[bevo]

Hi
I bought a blue Google mini search appliance that is password
protected. How can I do a factory reset to be able to use it myself?
It boots fine, a little loud,:) but I am stuck at the login password
screen. Would like to donate it to our new school if possible. It has
the VGA and keyboard/mouse connectors on the back.

You will need to plug a crossover ethernet cable into the orange port
on the back, plug the other end into your laptop, and run the
configuration wizard described here:

Hi Bevo,

If you are trying to use an old google mini just as a server I think
you might find this link useful:

Hope this helps,
