How to Factory Reset Amazon Echo Devices
Smart assistants like the Amazon Echo are incredibly useful devices, but they are also potential privacy concerns. When you give away or sell your smart assistant, you can’t just reset it on your phone. You need to perform a hard reset that will completely erase your data, not only to protect your personal information, but also to ensure the proper operation of the device for all future users.
Even if you don’t intend to sell the device, there are times when your Echo might stop working or freeze. A factory reset will resolve most issues. The thing to remember is that different devices require different methods to perform a hard reset, but it isn’t difficult to pull off.
Here’s how to reset some of the most common Amazon Echo devices.

The third-generation Amazon Echo Dot is one of the most popular smart devices out there. The third-generation Echo Dot has more than 257,000 reviews on Amazon alone and hundreds, if not thousands more are sold each day.

- Find the action button (the button down and right from the Volume Up with the single dot in the middle.) Press and hold it down for 25 seconds until the light ring flashes orange. After another moment, the light will turn blue.

A Note On Resetting First-Get Devices
Every device on this list has been second-generation and later because those are the devices most commonly in use. It wasn’t until the second generations of each device that smart assistants began to catch on. Later generations have more features and therefore more appeal to customers.

Find this button, usually in a small hole near the base or on the bottom of the device, and press it quickly. Once you do, wait for the light to turn off and back on again. When it does, the device will have been reset.
The first generation Echo Show and Echo Spot are reset in the same way as the Echo Show 5, but you can also press down the mute and Volume Down buttons for fifteen seconds until the Amazon logo appears on the display.
If your devices begin to freeze or just don’t work properly, do a hard reset. It can straighten out any problems before Alexa goes HAL-9000 on you. Make sure you also perform a reset before you sell a discard an old device. In the modern age of cybersecurity, you can’t be too safe.
