I’ve needed to know this a few times, and once I figure it out after a while of researching on the internet, I just do it and forget about it. Here’s to never having to search for how to hard reset your zune 1st Gen again.

Instructions:

Step 1 – Reset the Device

Do all of this at the same time:

  1. Hold the Back (Arrow) Button
  2. Hold the Up Button on the D-Pad.

This will force the device to reset. Now you need to act quickly. Do step 2 while your Zune is loading up.

Step 2 – Hard Reset the Device

Do all of this at the same time:

  1. Hold the center button.
  2. Hold the left button.
  3. Hold the back button.

Now just follow the instructions on the screen of your device.

Hey Jeremy, I can somehow relate to you. This is exactly what I do to when I don’t want to forget something. I’ve been in too many situations where I learn something then forget it in time. Sooner than expected, I need to remember it again. So I’m like how did I do this before? So I’m off to Google it yet again. So the solution? BLOG IT! Saved me lots of times. lol!
