You won't need the serial number (although that could help), but you will need to know the generation that your model is. Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

See if you can make out a model number in the small print on the bottom: A1218, A1378, A1427, A1469, A1625, or A1842.


Depending on the generation, you may be able to restore the system software and continue using your device.
