This wikiHow article will teach you how to remove a Roku account from a TV. If you are the owner of the Roku account on the TV and are getting it ready to be sold, you can simply unlink your account from the TV using a web browser so the new owner doesn't have access to your account. However, if you aren't the account owner (like your roommate that suddenly moved out) or just want to sign in with a different account, performing a factory reset will clear all the personal data from the TV.

Things You Should Know

  • If you're selling your TV or giving it away, it's a good idea to unlink your Roku account.
  • If you have access to the Roku account, go to the Roku website and unlink it.
  • If you only have the TV and no way to log into the Roku account, use the remote and go to "Settings > System > Advanced > Factory Reset."
