During changing payment methods I accidently started to create a new account on my Oculus Quest 2. I actuelly dont need it, Im perfectly fine with the one I had. But I cannot return to my old account, neither by switchung oder simply restarting the headset. It keeps asking me to enter the device code.
So I tried to activate the new account (I could delete it later) but that too isnt working. After inserting the Device Code with my mobile phone it keeps saying, that an unknown error accured, I should try again later.
So now Im stuck between the accounts since I cant abbort adding a new account and I cant return to my existing one. So neither forth nor back is possible and I am logged out of everything that is related to the account (cant use the 'People' App, Or the Store, I cant even access my Games or anything). What else can I do?

The factory reset did solve the Problem, though I would have liked to avoid a complete reset. It took so long because I had to wait for the delivery of my new phone.
So thanks again a lot for the swift and uncomplicated help. 🙂
