At the "Hi, welcome to your NOOK GlowLight™" screen, hold down the home button and swipe your finger along the top of the screen from left-to-right. A "Factory" box will appear in the upper-left. Press it.

At the factory screen, hold down the home button and tap the lower-right corner of the screen. A "Skip Oobe" box will appear. Press it.

Been using this on some NST's, would this be possible on the new White Glow Light ? please.
Or of course another way ?

Thanks, Mick

This guide is for the new white Nook GlowLight.

The procedure for the new NGL is the same as the NST except that, because the NGL has no side buttons, instead of pressing the top right side button, you press the home (n) button.

Based on your location, might it have something to do with a firewall preventing you from hitting B&N's servers?

Not in Europe, as afar as i know. But i found the problem, and the solution!
It seems they sold me an outdated nook, and B&N have cut support ( ?!?!?!??!?!??!??! ), however, here
https://help.barnesandnoble.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/215/~/sideloading-software-update-to-your-nook I've downloaded and sideloaded at newer firmware which wroked and updated just fine.

Is the reverse operation possible - to be maintained Oobe?
