Q&A for How to Reset a Nook

Hold the off button and the button that goes to Home. It will ask you if you want to reset - say yes.

Hold the power, both volume buttons, and home screen at the same time until it turns off.

First, you should try plugging it in and let it charge for a half hour. Once it is charged, hold down the power button for three seconds and see if it turns on. If this doesn't work and you don't get any message on the screen, you should go to a store that does repairs and have them take a look at it.

Call the seller and ask him for the pass-code. If you can't find his/her number anymore, try searching online how to reset the passcode. There also might be a factory-reset on the back or inside the device.

Restart it by holding the power button for 20 seconds. Clean the screen with a cloth, remove any screen protector, and try a soft reset or factory reset (Settings > Device Info > Reset Device). Be sure the software is up to date. If it still doesn't work, contact Nook Support.

If you get a "Network Error" on your Nook, try these steps: Ensure your Nook is connected to Wi-Fi, restart the Nook, reconnect to Wi-Fi in the settings, check for software updates, and try again later. If the problem continues, contact Nook support.

Try holding both the Power button and the N button for 15 to 20 seconds to restart it. Let the battery drain completely, then charge it and try turning it on. If it's still unresponsive, try a factory reset as a last resort. If it still doesn't work, contact Nook support.

If you're getting an error during the reset, ensure you're connected to a stable Wi-Fi network with the correct password. Restart your tablet and try reconnecting to Wi-Fi. If that doesn’t work, forget the network in settings and reconnect. You can also try a different Wi-Fi network. If the issue persists, contact NOOK support for help.

Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi by checking the settings, and try restarting the device to refresh the connection. If that doesn't work, you can reset it without Wi-Fi by going to Settings, selecting Device Info, and choosing Reset Device. Alternatively, try a different Wi-Fi network or contact Nook Support for assistance.

If your Nook 10.1 tablet keeps rebooting, try holding the power button for 10-20 seconds to restart it. If that doesn’t help, go into recovery mode by turning off the tablet, then holding the Power and Volume Up buttons together. In recovery mode, select "Wipe Cache Partition" and then reboot. If the problem continues, you may need to do a factory reset, but this will erase all data. If none of this works, contact Nook support for further help.

Make sure your internet connection is stable and you are entering the correct email and password without typos or extra spaces. If the issue persists, restart your Nook and reconnect to Wi-Fi, try a different network, or reset your password if needed. Contact Nook support if the problem continues.

Restart the device, clearing the app cache in settings, and checking for updates. Adjust the screen brightness or disable adaptive brightness. If the problem continues, consider a factory reset after backing up your data or contact Nook or Samsung support.

The Wi-Fi settings might not sync properly. Try restarting your router and your device. If that doesn't work, forget the network on your device and reconnect. If it still doesn't work, check for a firmware update for your router or adjust network settings. If nothing helps, contact your internet service provider for assistance.

If you’ve forgotten the pattern to unlock your Nook, try entering a default password or PIN if you set one up. If that doesn't work, perform a factory reset by holding the power button for 20 seconds or follow the reset instructions in the device settings (this will erase all data). If these steps don’t work, contact Nook customer support for further assistance.

It's unusual for a Nook to freeze and remain frozen without the battery dying. Try performing a hard reset by holding down the power button for 30 seconds to force a restart. If that doesn't work, contact customer support for assistance or consider returning or exchanging the device if it's still under warranty.

After the factory reset, ensure you're connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network and entering the right password. Try restarting your Nook and router. If the issue persists, use a different Wi-Fi network and check if your Nook's software is up to date. If it still doesn't work, contact Nook support for further assistance.

Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to force a restart. If that doesn't work, hold the Power and Volume Down buttons for 15 seconds. Alternatively, let the battery drain completely, then recharge and restart. If none of these methods work, contact Nook Support.
