hijacked Sonos Play 5 (1st Gen)

Help! I can’t access my sonos via the app. I can’t remember the email credentials from when I set it up but it looks like my old boarder hijacked it because when I try to use the app it requires an update and when I press on that it comes up with an email address requesting a password and it is not my email. He won’t give me the details and I’m not sure how to proceed. I just want to connect my new account to my old sonos. Any suggestions?

No need to reset.  Go to Settings > System and scroll down to Transfer Ownership.  Follow the prompts to transfer the system back to your account.

You may have to reset the Play:5 and redo the setup process in the Sonos app using your account.

Follow these instructions to reset the Play:5:
