A friend of mine recently gifted me his oculus quest 2. I factory reset it and i have been trying to pair it to my account. When i try to pair it it says "there's already an account paired to it". Im guessing that my friends account is still paired to it. How can i pair it without having to ask him to do it?

@i.eat.biscuits just get your friend to unpair the device from his account using the mobile app. Repeat the full factory reset process and pair it to your account.

I would do that, fact is that it's kind of hard for me to contact him (reasons) and it would be easier to unpair it without him. Is there a way? or no?

@i.eat.biscuits you've done the full factory reset, with it being powered off, holding the volume down button and pressing the power button until the USB update menu appears, yes?

@i.eat.biscuits then having done all that, it should allow you to pair the headset to the mobile app that you set up with your new account.

I tried, but the mobile app is just telling me that the headset is already paired to an account.

@i.eat.biscuits sorry, I'm all out of ideas. You may have to bite the bullet and speak to your 'friend'
Good luck.
