Anybody know how to get out of demo mode on the archos 5? thanks

1. Press SETTINGS/CLOCK until "DEMO MODE" is displayed.
2. The current setting will be displayed.
3. Press the "1" keypad to adjust the setting.
4. Press START or CANCEL to exit and display the time of day.
This should put you in normal operating mode.

Power off by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
Press "Volume +" button and power it on (press power button to start while holding "volume +" until the tablet displays recovery mode. Select the "Format System" option.

This is directly from Archos' support website:
http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/faqs/en/faq_Archos5.html?country=us&lang=en

You cannot exit the demo mode without the code you created.
Contact Archos Technical Support via the help form on the website and give your 'Product key' (Tools > Settings > Firmware and Plug-ins).

The demo mode included in the device is designed to be used at retailers ONLY. Do not use it as it merely searches for two short video demonstrations to play in a loop for store displays.

Try this:
Power your Archos 101 off by holding the Power Button for 10 seconds (this fully shuts it down).
While holding the Volume + button power it back up (tap power button to start up, hold volume until the tablet enters recovery mode, you'll see a series of choices instead of the demo mode).
Choose the Format System option.
When this process is complete make sure not to select Demo Mode as Android boots and the Archos 101 gets up and running.

Hey welcome to fix ya. i hope u 'll be fine.

• If u have purchased the software which u r using as demo version from any site and u have proof of it then do mail to them that i didn't get registration key or password, they will send u its key or password
  
• If u did not purchased it and using only demo version then free serials, cracks keys , codes or passwords are illegal & crime. Fix ya do not allow this check so it can dangerous for u and also for us. Fix ya can block both user and expert. i hope u can understand.

Wish u good luck
If it was helpful Do rate me THANKS

Demo software should not be on the device is sold to a customer. Because it is for stores to display them. If you have demo software working on your archos 5 press the power button and hold it for 10 seconds until it shuts off this will reset your device. And it should come up with normal user mode

Click Tools -> Settings -> Firmware and Plug-Ins and click stop demo Firmware (Mine is not activated and this may not be there).

Should be the same as it was for my archos 604, try my instructions at

I got mine out of demo mode. See my blog as to how.

We called tech support and you fix it by doing a reset on the base of the device. We used a paperclip to push the button. Hope this helps!
