tilbakestilt

Tilbakestilt is a Norwegian adjective describing a state that has been returned to its original or default condition after modification, error, or change. It is derived from the verb tilbakestille (to reset or restore) and is commonly used in technical contexts to indicate that a device, software, or configuration has been reset to its factory or standard settings.

Use and forms. Tilbakestilt is typically used predicatively, as in enheten er tilbakestilt (the device has been reset). It can also appear in attributive position to describe a noun, for example tilbakestilt programvare or tilbakestilt utstyr. The term is closely related to phrases such as fabrikkinnstillinger (factory settings) and tilbakestillingsprosess (reset procedure). In written Norwegian, tilbakestilt agrees with the noun it modifies in number and gender.

Contexts. The concept is common in information technology, consumer electronics, and product support, where a reset restores default configurations after problems, updates, or security concerns. It is also used in non-technical settings to describe restoring someone or something to a previous state, such as a process being tilbakestilt to its original version.

Examples.

- Telefonen ble tilbakestilt til fabrikkinnstillinger.

- Systemet ble tilbakestilt etter feilmelding.

- Kontoen ble tilbakestilt av sikkerhetsårsaker.

- Tilbakestillingsprosedyren gjelder alle brukere.
