Need help with 1st generation Apple TV and no remote

I found my first generation Apple TV that has been packed away for a few years. I lost the remote years ago and was wondering how to get the device back up and running. It will flash a yellow light if I try using my current silver remote, but I'm guessing I must somehow unpair this older device from the lost remote? Hoping to get this up and running soon for my 3 year old daughter. Thanks in advance.

Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
