 ===== UI mode =====
-Enables you to have a more restricted UI with kiosk mode, or kids mode.
+Enables you to have a more restricted UI with kiosk mode, or kids mode. Those restricted modes will prevent users from accessing the RetroArch menu through ''hotkey'' + ''B'' or any other modification on the system that could go wrong: editing/removing collections, changing UI parameters and so on.
-If you enable kids mode, there is a "cheat code" to return to the full UI: A,A,A,B,A.
+**Kiosk** is basically a restricted mode that still let users access all the games, while **Kids** will only let users access games that have been pre-selected as safe for kids.
+If you enable kiosk or kids mode, there is a "cheat code" to return to the full UI: ''A'',''A'',''A'',''B'',''A''. You need to enter this cheat code pretty fast, starting from the **manufacturers bar** at the main system selection menu. When the code is entered successfully, you'll see the Batocera logo flash, indicating that EmulationStation is restarting. Also, beware if you previously swapped the A and B buttons in EmulationStation (SYSTEM SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER menu).

+If you are locked out, you can edit the configuration file ''/userdata/system/configs/emulationstation/es_settings.cfg'' and you will see a line like
+   <string name="UIMode" value="Kiosk" />
+or
+   <string name="UIMode" value="Kid" />
+Just remove this line, and you'll get back to full mode next time you restart EmulationStation
