[TIP]1. Turn on your Apple TV

Now at this point, you need to be clear about what you want to do. Reset or restore? [/WARN]
[TIP]
Select "Reset" if you merely want to erase the account associated with it and reset its settings and any custom configurations. Thankfully, at the top of the screen will be a description of what a "reset" will do. [/TIP]
[WARN]
Select "Restore" if you want to return your Apple TV to its factory settings. In other words, choosing "Restore" will make the device like it was when you took it out of its box for the first time. This is the option to choose if you plan on selling the device or plan on giving it away.[/WARN]
