# Rebooting a Device and Resetting the Password

Using Skykit Control, you can reboot a device or reset the device password remotely. The device must be online so it can receive the command.

## Rebooting a Device

1. Select **Devices** from the navigation bar to open the **Devices** window.
2. Select the device you want to reboot. The device's detail window opens, defaulting to the **Status** tab.
3. Select **Reboot**. If the device is offline, the **Reboot** button is grayed out.

You are asked to confirm that you want to reboot the device.

4. Select **Yes**. A progress bar in the lower left corner of the window monitors the progress of the reboot and lets you know when the process is complete.

## Resetting a Device's Password

You will need the device password if you want to exit kiosk mode or edit advanced settings manually on the device rather than remotely. If you need to reset the password, you can do so in Control.

1. Select **Devices** from the navigation bar to open the **Devices** window.
2. Select the device whose password you need to reset. The device's detail window opens.
3. Select **Reset**. If the device is offline, the **Reset** button is grayed out.
