How to reset or factory restore NEC N900 device?
The NEC N900 is a handheld device that allows users to scan barcodes and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) text. If the device becomes locked or if you want to start over with the device and reset its settings, it can be reset or factory restored. Here are the most common and recommended ways to reset or factory restore a NEC N900:
Method 1: Soft Reset
A soft reset is a process that resets the device's settings without erasing its memory. To perform a soft reset on the NEC N900, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds.
2. Release the POWER button and wait for the device to power on.
3. Enter the MENU button to access the settings menu.
4. Select the "POINT" setting option and press OK.
5. Select the "SET PAGE: PT" and press OK.
6. Set the page to "1" and press OK.

Method 2: Hard Reset
A hard reset, also known as a factory reset, is a process that erases all the device's settings and restores the device to its original factory condition. To perform a hard reset on the NEC N900, follow these steps:
1. Remove the device's battery if it is installed.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds and then release it.
3. Press and hold the MENU button for 10 seconds.

5. Release the POWER button and wait for the device to reset. The troubleshoot light should stop blinking and the device may roar when the battery is restored or the device turns on automatically.
Method 3: WPS Reset
A WPS reset is a process that resets only the device's network settings and wipes out the locally stored barcode and OCR libraries. To perform a WPS reset on the NEC N900, follow these steps:
