Here is how to reset a client to fix a resolution problem:

Hold the shift key during boot process

When the boot: prompt appears with a red window in the center of the screen type:

Software single <cr>

Press Alt-F2 to switch to logon screen with messages when the bars above the Eon box logo start to flash.

After the messages complete the text should drop out to a bash# <prompt>, type
rm -rf /writable <cr>

Next Cycle the power

When the unit reboots it will be set to factory defaults.
