    I’m saddened by the fact that I have to do this but I believe it has held me back in a lot of things. I see now that it really has no use anymore since I’ve been really trying to move on to other things for a long time. Thank you for this. Now I can restart too.

      You bought a used switch and it had an account already on it? And this worked? I bought one off ebay and it has someone's info and I want to wipe it but am hesitating in case when it restarts it asks for info I don't have.

      @Natalia Treviño Perez Nothing else I could do, I wiped it. I was able to log in with my info and it all worked out. Not sure what firmware I was on then though so that might not work now. My switch I bought hadn't been used online much so I must have been on an older version. Hope that helps!
