How Do I Reset My Amazon Echo 2nd Generation?

The Amazon Echo is a voice-controlled device that works with the Alexa voice assistant. It can be used to control music, set alarms and reminders, ask questions, control smart home devices, and more. The Amazon Echo 2nd generation is the latest version of the device, and it offers improved sound quality and design compared to the original. If you have an Echo 2nd Generation, you may want to know how to reset it if something goes wrong or if you want to start fresh.

The first step in resetting your Echo 2nd Generation is to unplug it from the power source. Once it has been disconnected from power, press and hold the microphone off button for 25 seconds. After 25 seconds have passed, release the button and plug your Echo back into a power source. This will reset your device back to its default settings.

When your Echo is connected again, all of your custom settings will be gone but you can restore them using your Alexa app on a smartphone or tablet. Open the app and select ‘Settings’ from the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Then select ‘Device Settings’ and choose your Echo device from the list of devices displayed on screen. Finally select ‘Restore Default Settings’. This will restore all of your custom settings back on to your Echo 2nd Generation device.

You can also factory reset your Echo 2nd Generation through Amazon’s website if you don’t have access to a smartphone or tablet with the Alexa app installed on it. Visit Amazon.com/mycd then sign in with your Amazon account credentials if prompted. Select ‘Devices’ in the top menu bar then choose ‘Echo & Alexa’ from the dropdown menu that appears below it. Select your device from this page then scroll down until you see an option for ‘Factory Reset’. Select this option and follow any further instructions that appear on screen to complete the process.

Conclusion:
Resetting an Amazon Echo 2nd Generation device can be done either through a smartphone or tablet with Alexa app installed or through Amazon’s website if no smart device is available. It is important to note that factory resetting will erase all custom settings so make sure you restore them using either method before using your device again for optimum results.
