Abstract
A computer implemented method includes receiving a request for a boot into a system factory reset mode, accessing a virtual boot indication in an operating system memory area, identifying an address of a virtual boot user space memory area as a function of the virtual boot indication, and booting the system into the factory reset mode using the virtual boot user space memory without overriding user settings in the user space memory.
