I recently upgraded my Apple TV at home to the 4th gen, and so I took my old 3rd generation ATV to another screen at my office. I've connected it, and it starts up in Conference Room mode for some reason - I've never enabled this setting, and can't seem to exit from it.
Any idea how I can turn this off, or why this is happening?

This sounds like conference room mode. Conference room mode can be enabled in such a way that each time the Apple TV starts up, it will immediately go into conference room mode and by-pass all other menu's. This is enabled with a 4 character restrictions code, if you know this code you can exit conference room mode but if not you will need to restore the Apple TV by USB.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

This post has been unanswered for awhile, but if your question hasn't been answered yet I can try to help.
To get rid of the Conference Room banner, press the Menu button on the remote twice. You will end up on the normal Apple TV Home screen.
To prevent the Apple TV from starting up with Conference Room mode again, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display and turn off Conference Room Display.
If none of that works, unplug the Apple TV from its power source and wait about a minute, then plug it back in again.
