What You’ll Need
Before you start, make sure you have the following: Your Blink app installed on your smartphone or tablet, access to the Blink account that the Sync Module is registered to, and a stable internet connection. If you’ve lost access to your Blink account, you’ll need to recover it first. Let’s cover that quickly.
Recovering Your Blink Account (If Needed)
If you can’t log in to your Blink app, you’ll need to recover your account before you can delete the Sync Module. Here’s how: Open the Blink app and tap Forgot Password. Enter the email address associated with your Blink account, check your email for a password reset link, and follow the instructions to reset your password and regain access to your account. Once you’re back in, you’re ready to delete the Sync Module.
Guide: Deleting a Blink Sync Module Without a Serial Number

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Here are some common issues and how to fix them:
If the “Delete Sync Module” option isn’t available, make sure you’re logged into the correct Blink account. If the Sync Module is registered to another account, you’ll need access to that account to delete it.
If the Sync Module won’t reset, ensure you’re holding the reset button long enough (10-15 seconds). If it still doesn’t work, try unplugging the Sync Module, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in before resetting.
If you can’t access the Blink app, recover your Blink account using the steps outlined earlier. If you’re still having trouble, contact Blink Support for assistance.
