Yes.

Do as described here: Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support
If that fails, or the menu isn’t accessible, then connect to a computer: Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support

Thanks so much. I suspected this would be all that is needed. Assuming the previous user would cancel their subscription(s) as necessary. Thanks again!
