Help with used Nook

Hi all,

I just bought a used Nook GlowLight Plus (6")off FB Marketplace. I was able to charge it and turn it on, but other than that I've been having some problems with set up/erasing and deregistration.

I see local WiFi networks available, but when I put in the password and hit connect, it will put me back to the WiFi networks page as disconnected. It's also not connecting correctly to my current time zone (Pacific). I read in order to do that I need to be connected to WiFi, which is not working at the moment. It's software version is 1.3.1, which I know is super old. I have also turned it off and on again. It didn't help :(

I'm really hoping I'll be able to deregister the device, as I only want to download library books onto it. I know it doesn't require WiFi to do that (correct me if I'm wrong), but I would like to get out of the previous owners account.

I'm thinking of taking it to a B&N store after work, but thought I might try here first just in case. Thanks for your help in advance.
