      Hey there,

      I was tweaking the settings on my RPi1, I tried to allocate more space for the OS and overclocking in an attempt to clear up some video/sound lag. When I complete a reboot, ES locks up at the system selection screen. I'm still able to connect from my laptop through putty and enter terminal commands, so I was hoping someone could advise me on how I can open the RPi settings to get them restored to default.

      Thanks

        The config.txt is located in the Boot folder, you can edit this via ftp or by putting the SD card into your PC.

        I had an issue with locking up as well when trying to overclock my rpi3b with the recommended overclock settings I've seen on several sites. I ended up just reverting to default. it's always a good idea to make a backup of your config.txt before editing just in case something like this happens.

        hope this helps.
