    resetting console to factory default


    How can I reset my 360 console when the initial setup is not highlighted so I can reset console. My grandson put a pass code on my xbox and can't remember what it was. I would like to reset my console and start over.

    :)

    System Settings - Storage - Hard Drive. Hit the Y Button and choose Format. It will ask you for the Xbox Serial Number. Enter the Serial Number and then confirm the action. **Make sure you transfer any content you want to keep!!** Your Serial Number
    can be found under System Settings - Console Settings - System Info

    Hey there Bliss2u resetting console to factory default :)



    No need to reset the console to factory settings. You can simply redownload your profile from Xbox LIVE and it will remove the passcode for you. Please see the below page for a guide on how to achieve this.



    My account : Gamertag and profile



    If you really want to reset your console, then you would need to format it. This means you will lose everything on the console and would have to redownload your profile and content once the format is complete. Please see the below guide if you want to format.

    I hope this helps.

    Many thanks,

  5. ive been helped hopefully this helps you soft factory reset, you erase corrupted save that prolly made xbox go wild.

    Hold the button on side (to connect controller), hold eject button down, youll let go of them after you get to the reset screen. While their held turn xbox one on, you should reset and keep installed games, deleting all offline saves.

    Mine corrupted with madden i picked a play that had everything glitched and missing and i couldn't load Xbox after freeze.
