Aaron – you saved my sanity – thanks. Could not restore my son’s Gamertag, Xbox advice was to pay £100 to send back to Microsoft for a fix or buy a new one for £150. Thankfully my brother was a bit more savvy and did not agree with the experts, he found your video, we reset back to factory settings and successfully recovered the Gamertag. Thanks Again.
I bought an xbox from a friend and it has parental settings but not for xbox live. ive tryed all the factory restore codes but none of them work. is there any other way to get it back to factory settings?
Good gravy! Thank you oh so very much for that. I was beating my head on my computer screen with all these different “ways” of resetting not working. The one was like some craaaaaaaaazy code that you had to put in very fast! Ugh! Thanks again!
Your a life saver i been try to find something that could help me and then i found this thanks alot
I was surfing around for a free video game download and found a site giving away the Xbox 360 for Free. Some sort of Consumer Rewards deal. Not sure how it works exactly or who is paying for the games, maybe the manufacturer, or advertisers. IT took about 3 weeks to come in, I had actually forgotten that I submitted my email and address with them. But it works, Now The site is even more updated with XBOX Consoles, A Red Nintendo Wii, and more. The site is http://thefamilyexchange.com/free Im going back to get more free stuff.
will this delete my gamertag info too?
How do I reset my passcode for parental rating for my xbox 360? I chatted with x box. They gave me these instructions.
Once in the system settings. Press Lt, Rt, x, y, Lb, Rb, x, x u, d

Any advice?
Thank you
Dean

i cant update my 360 because my disk drive got stuck and my brother took it apart to look at it and the system thinks its been tampered with. when i put a game in it just says play dvd. will this fix that?
basically could play my xboxas normal until my brother went on it and he has now messed with something, so when i try to log on my xbo it asks for password and email which i dont know, and this is the only account ive got my gold membership on?? pleas help?!
I’ve forgotten my password and the answer to my security question, so what I’m trying to achieve is to literally reboot my system to the point where it has absolutely no designated settings. Is there a more extensive procedure I can follow to achieve? All I want is to restart anew; new profile, new settings, everything.

Hope you don’t mind me sharing it on my site!
i tried to update my xbox from a disc and now i cant do anything because it cant apply the update. so is there a way to reset my xbox without going into the menu from the update screen
Hey I’ve got a newier style 360 4gb .. Just thee other night it stopped connecting to my Internet/Xbox live ..
“It’s kinda showed signs once before a few months back”…. But I just logged out an back in and it was fine…
My Internet is 100% same as when it worked flawlessly. When I go run Internet setup it begins to try to read connection but stops an says cannot connect to Xbox live.. I just bought two days before Xbox gold 1 yr card subscription. That worked up nn till Internet connection problem arose.. I’ve done the manual way also to setup connection ,but end up where I was before……… It has had all its updates just when I got gold card..
That isn’t the issue either!!!!! Technically I’m stuck wanting to stomp it a new arrrssss, but know that doesn’t resolve ah thing…I’m to the point of wanting to buy the older style USB wireless adapter an see if it can bypass the internal wifi adapter. But i think it might end up in conflict of interest between both adapter tryin to work at once….
If anybody has something that I might have over looked or done please fill me in…
Anyways input that is serious …… Is wanted .
I guess if worse comes to worse take it in to a shop an see if it can be fixed…
I’d prefer not spending if it can be saved from someone’s intelligence…
Thanks nn looking forward to get this behind me..

When I go to select a storage device it says “no storage devices found” so what do I do to get it to the factory default?
After I went to system settings, I clicked storage then hard drive , I pressed “y” and it said “no storage devices found” what do I do??
Hi Aaron, I was following your instructions, transferred our info to a USB, and then (apparently mistakenly) removed the USB before doing the reformatting. At the point where I was to answer “yes” to reformatting (and then would be prompted to enter the serial number) it began giving me and error message that says “a required storage device has been removed. your console will now restart” It can’t get past this no matter that I have replaced the USB. I’ve tried clearing the cache 3 times as some sites suggest, still get the same error message. Do you have any idea how I can get past this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
hi all … i tried all the codes of reset family pass and all of then do not work … every time i try to do any one of then the screen comes back to the console setting .. what can i do ???
Deans code works, although i had to be under system info, not just system settings!
