Exiting kiosk mode on an Android device

Most users don't need this page. Exiting kiosk mode is only needed for on-device maintenance — you do not need it to change content or schedules — do that remotely from m.impressbox.eu. Exit kiosk mode only when you must touch the device itself: change the Wi-Fi network, re-pair the device, or apply a manual app update. After maintenance, return to ImpressPlayer to re-lock it.

Android players usually run locked in kiosk mode so users can't leave ImpressPlayer and reach the Android home screen. For maintenance (Wi-Fi changes, updates, re-pairing) you may need to temporarily exit kiosk mode.

How to exit

Follow the official illustrated guide for your device — the unlock gesture/PIN is specific to how the device was provisioned:

The general idea: a hidden gesture or admin PIN releases the device from the locked app so you can access Android Settings. After maintenance, return to ImpressPlayer to re-lock.

Common reasons to exit kiosk mode

  • Change the Wi-Fi network or password.

  • Re-run setup / re-pair the device.

  • Apply a manual app update.

If you only need to change content or schedules, you do not need to exit kiosk mode — do that remotely from m.impressbox.eu.
