Answer: Before we get started, make a backup of any local files you have on the Chromebook. Your Chromebook will be Powerwashed in the process, erasing any accounts and local data. With that all done, let's enable developer mode!
- Boot your Chromebook into recovery mode by holding the Esc and Refresh (the circular arrow) keys while pressing the power button. If you are using a Chromebook or Chromebit, there will be a hole on the device that has the recovery button inside. Stick a paperclip or similar object inside to hold down the recovery button, then press the power button.
- Press Ctrl + D on your keyboard when asked to insert recovery media.
- When your device reboots, you'll see a screen stating the OS verification is off. This screen will appear every time you turn the device on to warn you that the device isn't as secure as it would be out of the box. When you see this screen, press Ctrl + D to continue booting, or wait a few seconds and the device will boot on its own.
