Nest password help

I recently moved into a home that has a nest thermostat and cannot set it because the previous owner is still associated with the nest app.  How can I get the password changed and set up?? Can’t reach the previous owner!!

Let's try these steps:
  1. Connect the Nest Thermostat display via USB to a computer.

  2. Verify that the Nest Thermostat mounts (appears as an attached drive icon).
  • If the Nest drive will not mount: Restart the thermostat and the computer.
  • If the Nest drive still won't mount: Connect another device to the cable to see if it appears as an installed device.
  • If it doesn't appear, use a different cable/port/computer.
If the Nest drive is successfully showing up on your computer, can you see a technicalinfo.PLIST file?
