To factory reset your Roku manually, first locate the reset button on your device. It might be a button or pinhole depending on the model. If it's a button, press and hold it for about 10 seconds until the indicator light starts blinking rapidly, indicating the reset process has begun. If it's a pinhole, use a paperclip to press and hold the button inside for about 10 seconds. This will initiate the factory reset, erasing all your data and settings, and start the setup process as if the device was new.
