 Currently there is no way to force a laptop to re-register to a new school
 server. This is especially important for all our testing and when we roll
 this out to a country they, too, need to test and everyone will make
 mistakes and need to re-register at some point.

 This trac item is asking for the 'quick and dirty' re-registration which
 simply deletes two lines: [Server] and [backup] in the file:
 /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config

 This can be done in the terminal. Just below where the jabber server is
 listed, there can be a checkbox to 'Reset Registration'.

 Please see the long term feature request that will recommend doing this
 all behind the scenes with some smart scripts, #7764.

Comment(by gregorio):

 You're right! I was mixing the register and network manager clear. Sorry
 for the churn.

 I edited the description on this one too.

 Thanks,

 Greg S
