How to Reset Pleo

Pleo is an autonomous, robotic dinosaur pet from Innvo Labs. Pleo interacts with people, its surroundings and other Pleos. However, Pleo owners may occasionally experience malfunction when attempting to upgrade Pleo's operating system, LifeOS. Pleo may also malfunction during regular operation or display an undesirable personality. To remedy any of these situations, owners can reset Pleo to hatching stage by reinstalling LifeOS.
