How to Factory Reset your Meta Quest 2

If you run into problems with your headset or want to clear all of your data off of the headset, you can do a factory reset. This wipes everything off your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest, and returns it to the software state that it was in when you first took it out of the box.

This is only needed because meta has yet to make it so you can change your unlock pattern

WHY ARE THEY RELEASING A VIDEO LIKE THIS NOW?!?!

A tutorial is fine, but you should not release updates with critical problems in the first place, and if you do, you should make the function to revert to a previous version. Many people are encountering critical problems with every update these days. The official forums are full of bug reports. It's funny to see support telling us to do factory reset every time something goes wrong. Initialization is something that should be done in very exceptional cases, and it's abnormal to have to do it over and over again. There are many games that aren't supporting cloud backup.

It’s really stupid how they don’t really have a definite list of non cloud supported apps. Vader immortal is one, I don’t want to loose all my progress, I got to all the highest levels on training on all three episodes, all to forget my login password and having to reset and do it all over again. Don’t factory reset unless it’s the absolute last thing you have to do.

I love watching these tutorials even though I don't have a Meta Quest 2.
Also the app is called Oculus not Meta Quest.

Good to know that for some games cloud saving exists...but it would be also good to know which games supports that and what will be
