How do you reset a used Wii to factory settings?

morningtide_mondays asked:


I just bought a used Wii from Gamestop yesterday and erased all of the old game data off of it. However, there are parental controls in place and I do not know the previous owner’s PIN number. I have pressed the two red buttons on the Wii and
remote to sync them up, but the PIN number still remains.

Is there a way to bypass this to reset the system to factory settings? And if so, how does one reset it to factory settings?
