Clearing previous owners info off 2nd gen. iPod Shuffle?

Kids lost my iPod shuffle awhile back and just picked up a used one for cheap. How do you completely remove previous owners registered handle etc..? Will be good to be able to use his at work again. Do I re-register?

To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:


iPod nano (3rd generation)
iPod classic
iPod (5th generation)
iPod nano (2nd generation)
iPod nano
iPod with color display (iPod photo)
iPod (Click Wheel)
iPod mini
iPod mini (2nd generation)
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
