Sometimes a financial calculator can get locked up and become unresponsive. It's also possible that a setting was accidentally changed so that it is no longer functioning as desired. In each of these cases, it may be necessary to reset the calculator to its factory settings. Several different models of financial calculators exist, mainly produced by Hewlett Packard and Texas Instruments. The following steps differ depending on the type of calculator, but represent the process for the most popular models.
