Pairing problem

So, I'm trying to pair my quest 3 after a factory reset, and it shows me a code and says "follow the instructions in the app" but there is no instructions and the app that my quest is already paired, I can't set the headset up

Hi Lavagng​ 🙂

This happened to a few users.... some could solve that by using another phone or a tablet for the set up.

Maybe this will work for you too?

Good luck🤞

I think I just need to somehow unpair the quest but I don't know how

(I will still try though)

have you tried using another phone? Maybe borrow some from a family member or friend...... it's just for a few minutes to set up the Quest, afterwards you use your phone agai.
