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.
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
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
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 ?
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?
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
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?”
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
Hmm...preaty much I will try to sell the first switch and second model of the Switch as soon as I can get home since Im replacing them with Oled special editions.Hmm...for some reason on Mexico City has been hard to sell the first version of Nintendo Switch Online.
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.

@@herissylove7 same situation here :( what did you do??
@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!
Fantastic video, so easy to follow.
Much appreciated you’ve explained how to reset Nintendo for non tech people like myself.🙂

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?

I work at a Gamestop, and no one taught me how to reset these things. Thanks for the help 👍
Glad I could help
Will this also delete like you debir card information and everything?
Clear instructions. Thank you!
Thank you. This really helped me on my Nintendo because I couldn't play any games at all
Very helpful, thank you! Merry Christmas, by the way. 🎄
*Question! What will happen with the firmware? Will that also 'go back'?*
Is it oke if you put the gb card after the rest back in the nintendo?
This worked perfectly, well explained, thank you so much.
sorry i wanna ask. if we factory reset, our account will be erased and gone forever?
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 ?
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❤😢
Thank you so much!! This video was a great help.
Could you do that if the Switch has a parental lock on it?
Thank You I had a hard time trying to figure this out
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?
Thanks for the video. I couldn't figure it out.
Will it effect your other switch with the same account with it?
Thank you. Im now able to sell my Nintendo Switch! Thank you
What version was it when you reset it?
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
Just subscribed. Thank you so much!
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you I have been struggling more than 6 hrs 😂
If you put the memory card back in will all your information be on it?
Thank you this helped im selling my Nintendo switch because i already have a xbox series x and im saving for a nv (night vision) goggles
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
Dose this also remove the parental controls as well
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!
Will this keep the digital games? (Not the data just the license to play the digital games i bought)
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?”
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?
and how do you back up your games?
Do you have to put the SSD back?
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?
thank you! i’m selling my nintendo so this helped a lot!
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
Thank you so simple the way you explained it
I mean, can't I put it on charge while doing it instead of having to charge it to 100% first? -_-''
Thank u for posting! Easily wiped my husband's Switch for sale when I had never even used it before.
Thanks for the info this is very helpful for beginners like me 👍👍👍
Do you have to wait until it's fully charged because mine is at 70% I can charge it while doing it
Is no one gonna talk about how good that switch looks 😅
does the memory card save the account?
*Thanxxx much this was a easy watch and to do*
Thank you, I'm finally selling the game after having it for 3 years
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
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
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
Can I get a link to that red case pretty plz? 😅🙏🏼
It’s not a case. It’s the Mario edition switch.
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.
Do you put the same SD card in
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
This helped me soo much thank you
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 you have parental controls on a switch will it remove it or will it factory reset and get rid of it or keep it there?
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
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
if i dont have a memory card does it matter?
Do we put the memory card back in?
no
Does this update the switch? I'd like to erase it back to factory, but I need to know it wont update.
Anyway to delete the account without deleting the games?
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?
Do we put back in the memory card when you rest everything
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 👍
Thank You awesome video for resting
i don’t habe a microsd Card in my switch, is it still gonna work the same??
Mine says initializing and hasn’t loaded
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???????
Wait it erases ur account? Does that mean on my new switch aswell?? Its already linked to the same account
What do you do with the sd card
Does factory reset will remove this parental controls
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?
Thanks for the help sir🙏
What do I do if the percentage of the reset is stuck at 0%?
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!!
Thank you this really helped
Watching this as 10 years has pass and still deciding to buy a switch or not.
how nice the Switch color 😊😊😊
Hey what do I do with the memory card if I wanna resell my Nintendo?
Not complete factory reset as it still has the newest system software, which is my problem. Nintendo Ring doesn’t work with latest upgrade
But when I hold the button for 3 secs it does not show me the screen how to do that help me
I have mario kart deluxe on my switch is there any way I can transfer it over one I have resseted it
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
This deletes saved data from the games too, right?
Obvios
