"Well, I tried something crazy…

I setup hotspot on one of my mobile phones with the same name as my old WiFi (which my Fire stick remembers)Make sure you match the hotspot password also with old passwordTurn on the Hotspot and Firestick and bam! It's onlineNow, use a second mobile and connect to the same hotspotLaunch the FireTV app and now you can control your Firestick and configure new Wi-Fi ;-)"

"Well I found the answer to my question. I connected a USB mouse to the fire stick and tried to naviagte to the network setting. ( I couldn't see the cursor so it was quite hard to navigate)

You can either use a USB mouse or an ethernet network cable. For fire sticks you may use either of following two:

Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power for Nexus 4 5 7 10 Galaxy Nexus & Samsung Galaxy S 3 III 4 IV 5 V. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=...

OR

Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Amazon Fire TV Stick https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01M19P4GJ/ref=...

Good Luck!"

"Not to be disparaging to you, but really,

""Is there any method to factory reset the device without turning it on ?

Do you know of ANY electronic device that you can ""factory reset"" without it being powered on?

That's like me wanting to have ""remote computer access"" with my home computer ""powered down""

It's not possible to do. And if you can't use the Amazon App, I don't know what to suggest.

If it's not responding to the physical remote, IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID PHONE,

you can download the Amazon Fire TV Stick APP from Amazon onto your phone and

see it THAT will serve as a remote and try to do a factory reset on your Fire TV Stick.....

Without some input device, the Fire TV Stick is pretty useless."
