Didn't work with mine, but I pressed up and down volume button at the same time and it worked.

Thank you I have been trying to restart mine forever and I never knew it was that easy

Thank you! I have done this twice, but I forget EVERY time lol. It is so simple that no one bothers to explain it. I will save this video and HOPEFULLY remember that I saved it next time lol. The dumb thing never let's me simply change the wifi password, I hate that. Thanks again for saving the little note of sanity left in me! 🤣

Thank you that did the trick. Been using it as a fancy alarm clock in my kitchen for so long I forgot the name of it. Thanks for putting the item up in the thumbnail.

As a lower comment stated, these are the volume buttons so there are two switches under this rocker. use two fingers and press BOTH up and down volume at the same time for the reset.

Your video was helpful but you might want to specify that the button you referenced is for volume high & low and press the two edge is what prompts the reset not press the low or high volume side of that button...thanks

[stevenjazz]

Thanks for this, heavens forbid Google put a reset button on it or did something intuitive.

You need to remake. Need to hold both volume up and volume down buttons

[kennethriehle]

Yex correct don't press just the down button it will not work. You HAVE to PRESS UP & DOWN at the same time. It will work then to reset.
