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:
- Hold the Back (Arrow) Button
- 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:
- Hold the center button.
- Hold the left button.
- 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!
its definitely the best way to do it!
oh, and the funny thing is when you stumble upon your own blog entries when trying to find a solutuion. You just forgot that you blogged about the solution. Lol.
Great thanks for the tip !
thank you so much…

No problem dude, glad I could help out.
it’s actually right and not left atleast that was the case on my zune
