Restore Xiaomi TV factory settings using hardware reset
If you are unable to access the settings menu or if your Xiaomi TV is locked, you can try performing a hardware reset to restore factory settings. This will delete all data and apps saved on the TV, so make sure to back up your important data before proceeding.

Step 4: Reconnect the power
After releasing the reset button, reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and turn on the Xiaomi TV by pressing the power button on the remote control or on the back of the television.
