This has been mentioned somewhere else on the forum as well too lazy to find it.For this you'll need a wired usb keyboard with the sysrq key, this is usually the printscreen button if your keyboard isn't labeled. As the OUYA starts to boot, frequently press the alt-sysrq and i keys (sort of like the crtl + alt + del combo). This key combination is kill-all-tasks. After several times, this then triggers an automatic reboot into recovery mode. If the console freezes, this is good. Continue with the key presses until it restarts
Unfortunately it's not always obvious when the OUYA is in recovery mode since usually it will be a black screen (other times you will see a OUYA with a red exclamation mark). If you do happen to see the black screen, try unplugging the HDMI cord to reset the input connection. Press the Home button on the keyboard to bring up the recovery menu; it's a toggle so feel free to press the home button repeatedly until you see the menu since the timing isn't otherwise obvious. You should be able to select factory reset from there.
