+# Factory Reset
+
+## Overview
+
+The OpenBMC API defines a factory reset interface, which is intended to be used
+to restore the BMC to its original manufacturer settings. This interface is
+defined generically; it is specifically and variously implemented throughout
+OpenBMC services, which allows these services to be individually restored to
+factory defaults as needed.
+
+More reading for OpenBMC services [here](https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces/blob/master/xyz/openbmc_project/Common/FactoryReset/README.md).
+
+## Known Implementations (listed by D-Bus service)
+
+### org.open_power.Software.Host.Updater
+Path: `/xyz/openbmc_project/software`
+The host software updater factory reset immediately clears persistence files
+and any data stored in the read-write and preserved volumes created by the host
+BIOS.
