Locked In Demo Mode

I've used it for a week ok. This morning it went into Demo mode and I can't get it out. I reloaded the software and turned it on and off several times.  It still will only go into demo mode. Help

I called the Garmin service center and they instructed to reboot the default settings from the watch (and lose all data that i had added). This was a week after i bought the watch. It has worked perfectly since then,

I had the same problem with my Garmin S3 which is about 3 weeks old. When I deleted previously stored data (change of par on one hole and several locations) it fired up OK. Have lost confidence in the Approach.
