Although it is not a common procedure, since this device does not usually require it, it is possible that, for some reasons, you want to\u00a0factory reset a Chromecast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1st, 2nd, 3rd generation and Ultra Chromecast devices<\/h3>\n

The tutorial is very simple.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect the Chromecast to the TV\u00a0.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep both\u00a0on\u00a0.<\/li>\n
  3. Install Google Home\u00a0on your phone\u00a0.\u00a0You must connect to the same WiFi as the device.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter\u00a0the app.<\/li>\n
  5. Sign in\u00a0.<\/li>\n
  6. On the first screen where you see the devices you have linked,\u00a0click on your Chromecast\u00a0.<\/li>\n
  7. Go to\u00a0Settings\u00a0from the cogwheel icon.<\/li>\n
  8. Then enter\u00a0More options\u00a0(the icon with the three dots that is located above and to the right).<\/li>\n
  9. One available option that you will already see is\u00a0Factory Reset\u00a0.\u00a0Click on her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Chromecast devices with Google TV<\/h3>\n

    Although it is still not different, in this case the task is different since\u00a0we have both a complete operating system to use and a remote control\u00a0;\u00a0let’s see it.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Connect the Chromecast\u00a0to the TV.<\/li>\n
    2. We start, on the television, going to\u00a0Settings\u00a0, in the toothed wheel that is in the upper area and to the right.<\/li>\n
    3. Now click on\u00a0System\u00a0.<\/li>\n
    4. Inside, you must go to Information.<\/li>\n
    5. This is where you can click on the Factory Reset\u00a0option\u00a0.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Obviously, in either case, you are going to lose any data entered after the fact from the first time you started using the device.\u00a0Take a look first and, if necessary,\u00a0make a copy of what you want to keep\u00a0, if that is the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
