    Recently I purchased the XBOX 360 S and needed to reset my old XBOX 360 back to factory so I could sell it. I couldn't find a decent video showing how easy it really is and so here is a video to show all of you how to do it. Check it out and let me know if it helped you.

    yes, but it is easier to go into your memory settings and delete what you don't need. Be careful not to delete any saved game information unless you don't mind losing your saves.

  • @ShadowWolverine
    @ShadowWolverine 10 лет назад +24

    Just as a matter of clarification, this does NOT reset it to Factory Default settings, this only erases all of the data. If you need to get rid of content controls (e.g., can't play certain games), following the steps in this video will NOT remove them. I bought a used Xbox that had content controls on it, and in order to remove them I had to contact Xbox Customer Support because they need to give you a code and walk you through that resets your 360 to its true factory default (where when it starts up again you have to select Language, time zone, etc.)

    • @zollotech
      @zollotech  10 лет назад

      This does reset the Xbox to Factory Default per Microsoft. This was made following the instructions provided by them. Content controls are completely different. If content control is enabled, this reset will not work until you disable the content controls.

    You have to remove the parental controls first. If you don't know the passcode you will need to call Microsoft support.

    It will delete your profile from the Xbox, but not your membership or profile. The actual profile is stored by Microsoft. So if you reset it, you then sign in with your username and password and then you will have it back. This reset will not delete a password that is set on the Xbox.
