Anytime you want to erase changes made to your Dish Network receiver, you will need to reset it. Resetting the receiver takes it back to its factory defaults. Your "Favorite Lists," except the "All Chan," "All Sub" and "All HD" will be deleted. But the remote control address settings and locks will not change, neither will anything you locked on the receiver, unless you unlock it first. Resetting your receiver will not allow you to change passwords either. Resetting your Dish Network receiver only takes a couple of minutes.
Step
Turn the receiver on. Press the "Menu" button on the remote control. On the next screen, scroll to the "System Setup" selection and select it. This willl be number six on the menu.
Step

Step
Choose the "Yes" selection and you are done.
