Resetting your Firestick to factory settings is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.
- First, press and hold the Select and Play/Pause buttons on your remote for about five seconds, or until you see the Reset screen appear. From there, use the arrow keys on your remote to highlight the Reset option and then press the Select button to select it.
- Once you’ve selected resetting your device, you’ll receive a confirmation message asking if you’d like to continue. If you’re sure that you want to go ahead with the reset, simply choose Yes using your remote’s navigation arrows, followed by pressing select one more time.
- After this point, your Firestick should reset itself back to its original state shortly thereafter.
- It’s important to note that once you complete the resetting process, all of your apps and settings will return to their default states as they were before – so make sure that any changes or settings adjustments that may have been made prior are documented accordingly beforehand.
- Additionally, keep in mind that any files stored locally on the device such as movies, programs, etc. will also be wiped clean during this process – so ensure these are backed up elsewhere safely before going ahead!
