I just sold my XBOX 360. Before selling it I deleted all the gamer profiles on the XBOX under System, Memory, Profiles. The person who bought it is saying that the system keeps prompting for the XBOX Live e-mail address and password.

Is there a way to get past this so that he can setup his own gamer profiles without needing my XBOX Live account information?

Thanks!!

He needs to create a new profile and join xbox live with an email address of his own.

Minecraft is installed so I didn't want to reset to factory defaults. I was hoping he could cancel the prompt for my XBOX Live login info and could get to the create profile screen and create is own gamer profile.

Does even minecraft work as the original profile it was downloaded on has been deleted

I didn't realize deleting all the profiles + items would delete Minecraft that was install!! Oops!!

So I guess resetting to factory defaults is the best option now. How would he do this?

Thanks for the quick replies!

Are you sure the email address prompts are not for his own details for his own account?

Deleting profile and items won't delete games. As long as the game was first downloaded on your Xbox anyone else can play the game on your Xbox.

The guy who bought it just e-mailed me. Guess he was just frustrated trying to figure it out so he reset it to the factory defaults. Problem solved. Thanks!
