how to change the administrator on a Sonos product

Best answer by Stanley_4

Hoping they meant change user account email in the profile, or transfer system ownership in the settings.

Have you tried Settings → General Settings → Transfer System Ownership from the Sonos app on the existing system?

Oh, and if you’re using the S1 Controller, which it looks like you might be based on the products listed in your profile… Settings → System and scroll to the bottom Transfer System Ownership.

Just FYI…

Using the app to transfer ownership only works if the current registered owner is agreeable. If not all Sonos will have to be Factory Reset.
