Hello 1moon2river,


Based on what you've shared it sounds like you're looking to reset an Apple TV. If that is correct, you can follow the guidance listed here: Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support


"Reset or restore your Apple TV (3rd generation) or earlier


1.On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Reset.

2.Choose one of these options:

    • Reset All Settings: This option resets your settings, including your accounts and configurations.
    • Restore: This option returns your Apple TV to its factory settings and installs software updates. This option requires Internet.

3.Keep your Apple TV plugged into power until the Reset process finishes. Then you can set up your Apple TV again."


Take care.
