If you own an Amazon Echo device, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard of the “Alexa” feature. This is a voice control system that allows users to interact with their devices by saying simple commands. One of the most common commands is to “reset” Alexa, which will reset all of her settings and start over from scratch. To do this, you’ll need to first open the Alexa app on your device. Once open, click on the “Settings” icon in the top left corner. From here, you’ll need to select “Reset.” Once done, your Echo will be reset and will be able to work as it did before.
