What happens if I factory reset my Peloton?

Answered by Willie Powers

If you choose to factory reset your Peloton tablet, it will essentially revert back to its original state when it was first purchased. This means that all data, settings, and accounts will be wiped from the tablet, and it will be restored to its default settings.

The process of performing a factory reset on your Peloton tablet is relatively straightforward. To start, you will need to access the settings menu on the tablet. Once there, you should look for an option called “Factory Reset” or something similar. Selecting this option will initiate the reset process.

It is important to note that performing a factory reset will erase all personal data and settings on the tablet. This includes any saved workouts, profile information, and preferences. Therefore, it is crucial to back up any important data or settings before proceeding with the reset.

After you confirm the factory reset, the tablet will begin the reset process. This typically involves wiping the internal storage, clearing caches, and removing all installed apps and software. Once this process is complete, the tablet will power cycle and boot up to a loading screen.

During the boot-up process, the tablet will automatically connect to the internet and download and install the latest software update for the Peloton app. This ensures that you have the most up-to-date version of the software installed on your tablet.

Once the software update is complete, you will be prompted to log in with the main subscription holder’s account information. This is necessary to regain access to your Peloton subscription and personalized settings. If you are not the main subscription holder, you will need to obtain their login credentials in order to proceed.

It is worth mentioning that the factory reset process may take some time to complete, depending on the speed of your internet connection and the size of the software update. During this time, it is important to let the tablet complete the process without interruption.

Performing a factory reset on your Peloton tablet will wipe all data and settings, restore it to its default state, and prompt you to log in with the main subscription holder’s account information. It is crucial to back up any important data before proceeding with the reset, as it cannot be recovered once the process is complete.
