As I mentioned, in some newer models, especially TCL Android TVs, you may not find any button to reset your TV.

If your TV is in restricted mode and you have forgotten the password, the only way to exit this mode without the password is by replacing the board on the TV.

When should you consider resetting your TV?

Before getting started, let’s go over some common reasons for resetting a TV:
