Hi everyone,
I too changed the skin in Kodi (14.2) on my jailbroken Apple TV 2. Initially I couldn't find a way to reset it, but I have just managed to do it, so hopefully this might help someone else. It required using SSH to connect to your Apple TV and issue it some commands. I used the Terminal App in Mac OS X. You will the IP address of your Apple TV 2 before you begin.
Find and launch Terminal, and then enter the following:
ssh [email protected]
Fill in your Apple TV's IP address where I had the "x"
You will be asked for a password (you might have to say "yes" to a warning message first). The default password is: alpine
You should now have access to your Apple Tv's file system.
Copy and paste this command: cd /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/
This will take you to the directory where you need to delete a file (guisettings.xml)
To delete the file, use the command:rm guisettings.xml
Quit Terminal. Fire up Kodi on your Apple TV and you should have the default skin back again. You might need to reset a couple of other settings, but hey, small price to pay to get access to everything again.
