- Scroll down to the “Extras” section and select the “Settings” icon (gear-shaped) using the arrow keys on the remote control.
- Scroll down to the “System” section and select “Reset & Admin” using the arrow keys.
- Enter your TV’s parental controls PIN if prompted. If you have not set up a PIN, you can do so by following the on-screen instructions.
- Scroll down to the “System Information” section and select “View Account Info.”
- Select “Deactivate Account” and confirm that you want to deactivate your account by selecting “Yes” when prompted.
- Once the account has been deactivated, return to the home screen by pressing the “V” button on the remote control.
- Scroll down to the “Extras” section and select “All Apps.”
