Solution 3: Restore factory settings

If you still can't sign in, you will have to restore the default factory settings on the console. To do this, see How to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One.

Warning Restoring your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything that has not been synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. (Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it is connected with the service.)
