To perform a factory reset using your phone:

1. Open the Oculus app on the phone connected to the Oculus Go headset.
2. Tap Devices in the bottom menu.
3. Tap the headset connected to your phone.
4. Tap Advanced Settings.
5. Tap Factory Reset and then Reset.

Notes:

• You can only perform a factory reset of the Oculus Go using your phone if you have access to the account that is connected to the Oculus Go.

To perform a factory reset using the headset:

1. Turn off the Oculus Go.
2. Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Factory Reset and press the power button.

5. Login to the Oculus app with the account you'd like to connect to the Oculus Go headset and set your device up from scratch.

Notes:

• Performing a factory reset on the Oculus Go is irreversible and will remove all account information, downloaded games, and content from the device.
• Performing a factory reset will not remove content you've purchased or downloaded from your Library and can be re-downloaded to your device as long as you have access to your account.
