Factory reset Chromecast - Parent permission

music4mybumhole — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 22:20:39 GMT

I have switched ISP and need to set my Chromecasts up again.

Unfortunately when I try to connect to the WiFi, I get the 'could not communicate with your Chromecast' error.

I am trying to factory reset it, however I then get a 'Parent permission needed' message.

I don't and have never used any parental controls.

Can anyone help get around either issue?

Thanks

First time I'm hearing about this kind of error message. Do you have a photo perhaps?

In any case, follow the steps in the help article below that shows how to find the reset button on every model of Chromecast. It's always on the edge of the Chromecast itself, near to the power input. Once you've found the reset button, follow the steps in the next help article to factory reset your Chromecast.

Thanks, yes all sorted. I had forgot about the physical reset button. That worked.

Cheers
