My apple TV continues to be interrupted asking for ID verification for an old user

We have an old renter that was using our Apple TC device. We need to remove the user and attach our account to this.

My Apple TV keeps popping up to verify Apple ID No matter what I do, or how often I put in the password and it is accepted the Apple TV keeps asking for the password again within a few minutes. With the more recent update(s) there is a red dot with a two for my apple ID and it says an iPhone is Required to update my apple ID setting and another button also says use an iphone to "Finish signing in. I do not have an iphone or other iOS device and it shouldn't be a requirement for this standalone device! I bought my Apple TV brand new and have only ever signed in one ID ever. I have chatted with support but they don't know what to do either. I'm supposed to get a call from a senior tech tomorrow but I have been trying to get this resolved with apple support for years. How do I clear this error?

Put wrong Apple ID while setting up my new tv I made a mistake with my ID while setting up my AppleTV app on my new Sony Bravia X80K tv. I can’t find a way to correct it. It just keeps asking for my password using that wrong ID, and of course, I next get a prompt saying my password is incorrect. My password is correct, it’s my ID that is incorrect. I can’t get past the password screen to correct my ID. Help!

They will likely have installed an app that is still linked to their account for App Store access. Delete that app (and re-install on your own account, if needed).

Else reset the device and start over with a clean slate.
