macmulti-touchtrackpad
I messed up with my trackpad settings. I am also using bettertouchtool.
The problem is three finger drag has completely stopped working. None of trackpad settings in system preferences or options under accessibility are helping.
Is there any way I can reset trackpad settings to original, the way it came with factory. I tried resetting PRAM, not helped. Any way to get back the default trackpad settings.
Have you tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist or running defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad TrackpadThreeFingerTapGesture -bool false?
It seems like apple moved the option for enabling tap-to-drag to the accessibility pane. You can enable it there:
Note: ticking three-finger drag (in the Trackpad prefs pane) will change the Accessibility-pane setting. Unticking the drag setting in the Trackpad-pane first then follow these instructions to check your Accessibility preferences.

this is what I did:
mdfind -name bettertouchtoolsudo rm -rf /whateverwent to /Library/Preferences
went to ~/Library/Preferences
Finally I did a PRAM reset (Reboot, immediately hold alt/opt+cmd+P+R and hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time]
Frankly I got this by hit & trial, I didn't knew what to do, so I did all at once. After it restarted my trackpad was back like again. Maybe someone can edit this answer to make it perfect. Thanks :)
