This guide uses the COVR-C1203 as an example. The location of the reset hole for other devices may vary a bit, but will still be in the same general location.
- Locate your device and flip it over.
- One the bottom of your device there will be a small hole.
- Hold down the paperclip for up to 10 seconds.
- The LED on the front of the device will turn red and the device will then begin to reboot.
If you hold down the paperclip for more than 10 seconds, it may cause the device to go into recovery mode (an orange light instead of red). If this happens, unplug the device from power for 30 seconds.
