I am looking to buy a used Apple TV on eBay, but the seller doesn’t know if it has been factory reset or not. If I buy it, and it is still tied to the user’s Apple account. Can I do a factory reset and tie it to my account without having to jump through a bunch of hoops, like having to know a pin or password?

    Just factory reset it, and choose the option that downloads a fresh copy of the software.

      This never occurred to me before but does Apple TV have activation lock?
