  1. Power Off: Ensure your headset is turned off.

  2. Enter Boot Menu: Press and hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the boot screen appears.

  3. Navigate Menu: Use the Volume Down button to navigate to Factory Reset.

  4. Select Factory Reset: Press the Power button to select it.

  5. Confirm Reset: Use the Volume Down button to navigate to Yes, Erase and Factory Reset and press the Power button to confirm.

Important Notes:

  • Backup Data: Before performing a factory reset, ensure you back up any important data as this process will erase all user data, settings, and installed applications.

  • Reconnect After Reset: After the reset, you will need to reconnect your headset to your Oculus account to restore software subscriptions.
