Connecting Apple TV

Dear sir/madam, Happy New Year!



We have an Apple TV (ATV) 1st generation and have recently tried to connect it to the TV to use it for AirPlay. However, we cannnot find the remote and we are not sure of the Apple ID that it has been synced with initially. We have a Macbook Pro and installed Remote on iPhone 4.


We tried:


- Connecting the ATV with an Ethernet cable to the Mac, but no recognition;

- Connecting the ATV with an Ethernet cable to the router and using Remote to pair new remote, but the Remote doesn't see the ATV.


We don't have another Apple Remote and cannot identify the previous Apple ID.



Is there some way to reset the Apple TV manually and connect it to the Mac?

Is there some way to connect any other remote to the ATV without having to activate this setting on the ATV first?



Thank you for your advice.
