# How do I factory reset the EP-40?

To factory reset your EP-40, hold Shift + Erase while powering on the device. The display will show "FMT" to confirm the reset process has started.

What Gets Deleted

A factory reset removes all user content from your device, including your projects, scenes, patterns, and any samples you've recorded or imported. However, the factory-installed sample library remains intact.

Important Notes

This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure to back up any samples or projects you want to keep before performing a factory reset. You can transfer samples to your computer using the EP Sample Tool available at teenage.engineering/apps/ep-sample-tool.

The factory reset is useful if you want to start completely fresh or if you're experiencing persistent technical issues with the device.
