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.
Thank you. Bought a used one. Didn't want to go the route in volume + and - and power button. People are messing up there switches going that way. Great video!
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!
bro this is the fastest way to do it. Some people tell me to just hold the power button to reset but the settings been under my nose this whole time. Thank you I just got an switch so I'm totally unfamiliar with this.
Yea, it will still be on the nintendo account but the account will not be on the switch anymore, so there's no way for anyone who bought your switch to see your info at all
THANK YOU I’m not ready yet to initialise my switch yet but since I Forgot My Password And Typed In The Wrong Email I Need To Do This But When I’m Finished With all my games I’m doing this YOU GOT A NEW SUB
So that means that this will deletes all the games you bought on your Nintendo account will be gone ? Or when you get a new switch and log in to your account everything will be there ?
Thank you I was getting a new Nintendo switch and I wanted to take everything off of it and get a new clean slate so I can give it to my sister thank you so much it helped me a lot now my sister is going to enjoy this
I just bought one used from i friend but he forget the pin number for the parent control thing. If i do this, will it take that away as well so it wont have a timer on it?
I’m going to include the microSD card in the sale to my buddy, so I reset the cache, reset the keyboard, formatted the SD card and now I’m about to initialize. Is this okay to do or is is absolutely necessary to pull the SD card out before “initializing console?”
Will I be able to download any games that came with the switch once I factory reset? I'm trying to redownload Mario Racing after I screwed up something
What happens afterwards? Does it shut down entirely again, or do I need to factory reset yet again to get the proper “fresh” start screen? And if it goes into rest mode after resetting and turning it on for the first time, is it possible to turn it off?
Just wanna ask what about the game cards would they get rid of the information so when a new buyer comes no information or my worlds will come on? Just wondered as I’m selling mine tomorrow
I have 2 nintendo accounts in one console and i transferred all downloaded games in to SD card. Does deleting one Nintendo Account, delete all saved game data from SD card also? Does that SD card games are still playable on same console after deleting that account?
Does this fix my problem? Cause i experienced when i boot my oled theres a white thing line appeared then disappeared again it will appear only when i boot my switch but then no line
All right im trying to this as sson as possible,does the switch have to be connected to the internet to do this?? I mean my sons switch is not connecting to the internet thats the reason why i want to factory reset it
question my switch dosent work anymore and I want to sell it for parts, if the person that buys it get it to work can they do anything on the switch that will affect me or no
Hey dude I have a question!!!! If I do this will my Nintendo account be deleted as well. I have a switch lite and a switch and I want to sell my switch lite but I don’t want to erase my account!!!
Will factory resetting my nintendo switch also deleted my credit card information? I just want to make sure I don't want to have to freeze my cards/accounts because of some nintendo gimmick
Question please my grandson went to his sorry dads house he put in his email & password. He refuses to give us either of those can we factory reset & start fresh?
Does anyone know if your data will come back after wiping? Like for example I have NSO and have cloud backup saves so I can get those back but once it’s wiped I will have to log back into my account. Will my account remember other details like hours played for each game/application?
If I have my fortnite account on the switch and factory reset will that disconnect my account from ninendo, also will it erase my data on the switch because I’m going to be selling my switch so I don’t want my fn account to still be connected to the switch
Does the factory reset delete your nintendo account? Or does it just delete it on the switch and when you get a brand new switch you can just log into that new one to re download your games that you bought online?
I think it does not delete your account just only from The switch console, i have a new switch gonna make sure i first have my account on The new one and set it that to main switch
Thank You FuriousTechnolgy, I recently Got a New Switch but didnt know what to do after transfering over my game save data and user save data and memory
This worked great! Thank you!
Glad to be a help :)
I accidentally did it so how do i do I reset it
Thank you! We bought our daughter one on Saturday. She doesn’t like it as much as she thought she would. We are returning it.
Thank you so much oh my god, my dad and I have been struggling with this for like 3 hours because we were too stubborn to search up a video 💀
That's literally my mom, when she could just search it up online or on RUclips for tutorials on stuff she doesn't know
You need a new pair of eyes bro😂😂
Same
repent to God
Love this comment

I’m selling my switch that I haven’t used in 2 years to get a ps5 yet somehow it makes me really sad to see it go
Real.
Same I really want a ps5 but my parents said I need to make my own money so I’m selling it with loads of other games
@@PAFC_JJ smart, finesse even. Like, impressively clever. I hope you get your PS5
what are u 10 ??
Awesome! I'm planning on selling my Nintendo Switch to my Aunt for a Christmas present for her kids. This helped I appreciate it! :)

Fantastic video, so easy to follow.
Much appreciated you’ve explained how to reset Nintendo for non tech people like myself.🙂
THANK YOU I was trying to go to the e shop forgot everything so I’m just gonna make a new account you are a life saver
This video was very helpful. Thumbs up well deserved. 👍🏿
Thank you so much for the video! If I reset like you show and put in the SD card, will it be formatted to start fresh with the card as well?
Could you do that if the Switch has a parental lock on it?
the sound it make when the warning screen pulls up terrifies me
Clear instructions. Thank you!
Is it oke if you put the gb card after the rest back in the nintendo?
*Question! What will happen with the firmware? Will that also 'go back'?*
Will this also delete like you debir card information and everything?
Yea, it will still be on the nintendo account but the account will not be on the switch anymore, so there's no way for anyone who bought your switch to see your info at all

Thanks. I needed to delete an old Nintendo account so resetting it to factory settings helped me. Thanks again
I am selling my switch and i appreciate this video! Super helpful!
Glad I could help!
I work at a Gamestop, and no one taught me how to reset these things. Thanks for the help 👍
Glad I could help
@@FuriousTechnology greetings .. Are all the games deleted if that reset is done...
We bought Nintendo with downloaded games... It won't delete ??
I found a nitendo switch but it has parental control how can I make it come from the factory or how can I remove the parental control
Will I be able to download any games that came with the switch once I factory reset?
I'm trying to redownload Mario Racing after I screwed up something
Helped me so much I’ve been struggling for so long. Thank you so much.
And what if you want to give it to your sister but i dont wat her playing on my account do i stil need to take the memory card out
What version was it when you reset it?
Thank you. This really helped me on my Nintendo because I couldn't play any games at all
I mean, can't I put it on charge while doing it instead of having to charge it to 100% first? -_-''
sorry i wanna ask. if we factory reset, our account will be erased and gone forever?
if u have it on ur phone No
What happens afterwards? Does it shut down entirely again, or do I need to factory reset yet again to get the proper “fresh” start screen? And if it goes into rest mode after resetting and turning it on for the first time, is it possible to turn it off?
Just wanna ask what about the game cards would they get rid of the information so when a new buyer comes no information or my worlds will come on? Just wondered as I’m selling mine tomorrow
Does this delete the Nintendo account associated with the switch like i dont have to log back into the account when starting back up????
can you then sell the sd card or is there stuff on it after you pop it out
yes
@@FuriousTechnology jes to what ?? :-)
Dose this also remove the parental controls as well
Do you have to wait until it's fully charged because mine is at 70% I can charge it while doing it
Very helpful, thank you! Merry Christmas, by the way. 🎄
If you put the memory card back in will all your information be on it?
This worked perfectly, well explained, thank you so much.
I have 2 nintendo accounts in one console and i transferred all downloaded games in to SD card. Does deleting one Nintendo Account, delete all saved game data from SD card also? Does that SD card games are still playable on same console after deleting that account?
Will this keep the digital games? (Not the data just the license to play the digital games i bought)
Hi, I'm going to buy a brand new switch, how do I know if that switch is never used before, because seller could factory reset and sell it
greetings .. Are all the games deleted if that reset is done...
We bought Nintendo with downloaded games... It won't delete ??
Does this fix my problem? Cause i experienced when i boot my oled theres a white thing line appeared then disappeared again it will appear only when i boot my switch but then no line
Will it effect your other switch with the same account with it?
Do you need to log in to the old account's in order to do this as im going to buy one tomorrow and not sure if its doable
Do you have to put the SSD back?
Mine is stuck on initializing to reset but it will spin and it’s still at 0% for 15 min now...what to do???
Do we put back in the memory card when you rest everything
Can I get a link to that red case pretty plz? 😅🙏🏼
It’s not a case. It’s the Mario edition switch.
i don’t habe a microsd Card in my switch, is it still gonna work the same??
Hey what do I do with the memory card if I wanna resell my Nintendo?
Do you put the same SD card in
wait does it actually delete your nintendo account or does it just unlink it from the console?
It just unlinks the account from that Nintendo Switch when you buy a new one you will still be able to use your original account.
All right im trying to this as sson as possible,does the switch have to be connected to the internet to do this?? I mean my sons switch is not connecting to the internet thats the reason why i want to factory reset it
Do you have to put the micro sd card back? Or do you keep it before selling?
No you can keep it.
@@FuriousTechnology thank you for replying!
question my switch dosent work anymore and I want to sell it for parts, if the person that buys it get it to work can they do anything on the switch that will affect me or no
Not complete factory reset as it still has the newest system software, which is my problem. Nintendo Ring doesn’t work with latest upgrade
I have to ask what if i have the same account on both of my switch and i delete everything on one of them dose my account on my new switch stay?
i have a conected joy cons and my switch isn’t working and i need separate ones but i can’t get separate ones what do i do!!
What happens to all the purchased games via e-shop?
Hey dude I have a question!!!! If I do this will my Nintendo account be deleted as well. I have a switch lite and a switch and I want to sell my switch lite but I don’t want to erase my account!!!
you just have to sign out of your switch account. It will remove it on the device but not delete your account from Nintendo servers.
I have mario kart deluxe on my switch is there any way I can transfer it over one I have resseted it
Mine says initializing and hasn’t loaded
Thank you so much!! This video was a great help.
What do you do with the sd card
Will factory resetting my nintendo switch also deleted my credit card information? I just want to make sure I don't want to have to freeze my cards/accounts because of some nintendo gimmick
Question please my grandson went to his sorry dads house he put in his email & password. He refuses to give us either of those can we factory reset & start fresh?
What if I don’t have an SD card?
I followed your instructions, when it powered on after the reset. It shows “connect joycons screen” and I can’t go pass that😢😢😢😢😢 any advise???????
does the memory card save the account?
Shit I cried I been gaming my whole life but want to better my self and built my body up thank you for this video bro appreciate at❤😢
Wait so if we do this will our account snd games on it be completely deleted or can we log in on another account?
yes
Can anyone tell me if we put the memory card back on ????
you can put the memory card back in when done
Ok thank you this worked good 👍
You keep the memory card?
Yes
Does factory reset will remove this parental controls
What do I do if the percentage of the reset is stuck at 0%?
I did this but I can't use my sd card because it says I have to delete what's on it if I want to use it
Thank You I had a hard time trying to figure this out
Do we put the memory card back in?
no
if i dont have a memory card does it matter?
Thanks for the video. I couldn't figure it out.
Does this update the switch? I'd like to erase it back to factory, but I need to know it wont update.
Wait it erases ur account? Does that mean on my new switch aswell?? Its already linked to the same account
Just subscribed. Thank you so much!
Thanks for subbing!
But when I hold the button for 3 secs it does not show me the screen how to do that help me
What happens if I left the sd card in?
Does anyone know if your data will come back after wiping? Like for example I have NSO and have cloud backup saves so I can get those back but once it’s wiped I will have to log back into my account. Will my account remember other details like hours played for each game/application?
I want to reset but will I be able to get the free download of Mario kart 8 again with the download code after I reset?
yes
I’m selling it so will the new owner be able to use the code u see there account even if I had already used it?
does it delete all games on it permanatly?
If I have my fortnite account on the switch and factory reset will that disconnect my account from ninendo, also will it erase my data on the switch because I’m going to be selling my switch so I don’t want my fn account to still be connected to the switch
Dont remember the parental control password, can it remove it also
And my wont be deleted right? Its jusnt not going ti be in my nintendo
Does the factory reset delete your nintendo account? Or does it just delete it on the switch and when you get a brand new switch you can just log into that new one to re download your games that you bought online?
I think it does not delete your account just only from The switch console, i have a new switch gonna make sure i first have my account on The new one and set it that to main switch
if i restore factory settings will it erase data from my new switch?
Thank You FuriousTechnolgy, I recently Got a New Switch but didnt know what to do after transfering over my game save data and user save data and memory
Thank you. Im now able to sell my Nintendo Switch! Thank you
