How to Factory Reset a myQ Device

Factory reset your myQ device to restore original settings, remove it from an account, or resolve Error 310 (“device is on another account”). After reset, the device must be set up again in the myQ app.


When to Factory Reset

Only reset your device when:

  • Moving the device to a new owner
  • You see Error 310
  • The device cannot be added after ownership transfer
  • You are directed by troubleshooting steps

Do not reset for:

  • Wi-Fi password or router changes
  • App logout or sign-in issues
  • Device showing offline
  • Password or account login problems

For these situations, use:


What a Factory Reset Does

A factory reset may:

  • Remove the device from your myQ account
  • Erase Wi-Fi settings
  • Remove paired accessories
  • Require full setup in the myQ app

For garage door openers, it also removes:

  • Remotes
  • Keypads
  • HomeLink connections
  • myQ accessories

These must be reprogrammed after setup.


 

Error 310

When you see Error 310, it means your myQ serial number is already linked to another account. A myQ device can only be added to one account at a time.

Common causes include:

  • The device was previously owned or installed
  • You moved into a home with an existing myQ device
  • You used a different email address to register the device
  • You no longer have access to the previous myQ account

How to fix it:
To clear the device from the old account, perform a factory reset using the steps below. This will remove the link to the previous account and allow you to register the device under your account. 

See myQ Device Ownership | Moving, Taking Ownership, and Error 310 Help
