🧾 Amazon 🗳 FireStick 🔥 Factory Reset (with or without Remote Control)

You can reset your Amazon Firestick TV to factory default, called a hard reset, whether or not you have the Amazon Firestick TV remote control. It is faster and easier WITH the remote but if you don't have it, you don't have it.

The net result is your Amazon Firestick TV will be reset to what it was when it was brand new in the box.
