  3. Use the volume buttons to highlight Factory Reset.
  4. Press the power button to select it.
  5. Use the volume buttons to highlight Yes.
  6. Press the power button to confirm.

To factory reset the Quest using your phone:

  1. On your phone, open the Oculus app.
  2. Click on Devices in the bottom menu.
  3. Select the headset that you want to factory reset.
  4. Click on Advanced Settings.
