You can restore by geting yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
However , even should it work, your symptoms suggest it is something connected to your Apple TV that is causing it a problem and that something may re-occur.

Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.
Tried 3 or four times not resolved yet.
Seems that with no hdmi cable apple tv doesn't restart but with the hdmi ion same problem rise again....
Let's try later last time worked...but Apple should say WHY!!!
Try it with another HDMI cable or with a different TV.
Winston,
It worked with same tv, same cables, same router in other word same all till 3 hours ago.
I was listening a song from my iTunes match than a sudden reboot occur and after infinite loop.....
It might be a fault that requires a restore, but in just the same way that things cann go wrong with the Apple TV, they can go wrong with the TV and the HDMI cable.
How can restore my damned apple tv? Thanks
I really sure that the problem isn't with the rest of the hardware: same hdmi cable and same HDTV are perfectly working with my laptop who has a hdmi output.
Winston thank you for you support.
After your suggestion I was able to restore apple tv with USB cable.
During hundrest test I made seem is that problem is related to network. I'm using a timecapsule as wifi router.
If I leave the router switched off the infinite loop doesnt happen. As soon as I switch on timecapsule atv crashes!!!
What a ****!!!
Have you checked for interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Downloaded NetStumbler which gives me "Access denied" no found a way to give it my credential...gave up.
Both 2.4Gb and 5Gb channels were set to Automatic tried greater ones for both channel results: problems accessing TimeCapsule from iPhone, Windows laptop but iPad worked!!! Just went back to Auto on both channels.
AppleTV still same ****** infinite loop...ops I'm really getting bored!!! 3 devices out of 4 (Laptop, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV) are working perfectly only (******) Apple TV doesn't!!!
Is it located on or close to other electrical equipment.
Closest set are hdtv , a set top box a bounce of cables same as yesterday and before.... Just tried to switch off everything but atv and hate...same ****** infinite loop....
Have you actually tried it with another TV.
I've just one...
I'm going to ask to Apple support
Winston a really appreciate your hints and patient!
Thank you!!!
