Or if you are giving away your echo dot or moving to a new house it's important to know how to reset your echo dot so you can clear the information you have on the device below you give it away.
There are 4 buttons on the echo dot, the + volume button, - volume button, mute button, and the action button. To reset the Echo Dot you need to press and hold the "action" button for 30+ seconds until the yellow light comes on the echo dot and it goes through its light sequence and you have confirmed that the echo dot has been reset.
once the echo dot is reset it will start back up with a blue light and announce via voice that it is ready for set up.

THANK YOU! I was about 2 minutes away from a melt down!!
some people learn better by videos.
Me to lol
Same. I think I had a little meltdown - but this caught me just in time from slipping further into disgrace.
lmao same
Oml same
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
thank you so much for this i wish i could give u a hug rn lol
Brilliant! Your reset method just worked perfectly on my Echo Dot 4th Gen. It had stopped responding to any voice commands. Not even to the “Hey Alexia” or just “Alexia” command. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us in such a straightforward and how-to way! I’m a subscriber for life!
Alexia isn’t the wake word.
Alexia isn’t the wake word.

Alexa is the wake word
probably because you were calling it alexia you weapon
Thanks so much for sharing this info, I've been spending an hour trying to get my echo to work. I didn't realize when I moved and changed internet accounts that I would need to totally refresh it.
Kelly, happy to help. Glad it worked out for you!
Great info and thanks. We changed wi-fi modems and set up a repeater. Alexa would not operate my smart home devices at all. It would not recognize the server. I tried everything I could think of. You just saved me another headache on a different day!

It works! I tried everything but this is the only thing that works. Thank you!
Great to hear!

Idk what I’d do without you tysmmm!!
My Echo Dot is stuck. "Updating your device. I'll let you know when it's ready." It's been hours now. Thanks to this video!!!!
After I performed this action, my echo has been unregistered and the people at Amazon has been unable to fix this. I now have a purple ring and cannot connect ti internet. How do I fix this ?
Same
Hi . Thanks for this, it really worked for me as i was trying from last one hour .
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS ABLE TO HELP ME
My Alexa got soaked with water . left her to dry out for couple of days including powered off on radiator. Did reset now she is back working . 😊
It's help me a lot to walk-through the cx of who has problem with their echo devices
Thank you so much I forgot me password and had to reset it. The first one worked so I didn’t have to try the others

@@OneHourSmartHome
But my Alexa has went in hand wash
Great tips!! This was a great video. But I have another problem. My older sister and I both have Alexas and mine is connected to hers somehow. Like when I play music it stops and calls me up all the time to say, “it’s playing on mine.” We tried fixing this issues before, but nothing we thought about worked!
Do you think resetting it would work?
OMG I needed this thanks
Thank you this was so helpful!!
This failed. Ive tried every combo of buttons at this point. It worked for years, no problem. I unplugged it today to move something. Plugged it back in 10 seconds later. And now it no longer works? Makes no sense.
Same here. Any solutions?
@@matheusricardofernandesdos1468 yeah it finally rebooted on its own.
My eco dot no lights show help me
Thank you! I had to change my wifi, phone number, and cable box, and didnt know how to reconnect alexa to the new wifi.
In addition to the reset, do you first have to de-register that particular Echo Dot device from Amazon?
Nope, when you reset it can be set up on a new account without needing to deregister.
@@OneHourSmartHome Thanks -very good video!
Omg! Thank you so much! A while ago I got an alexa for christmas but I got a new phone and forgot my email password! For the first time in years, I actually got to fix the problom thanks to you!
OMG 30 now later!! Thanks to you 😁
Thank you so much I was gonna cry but you helped ty so much😄
Yoo i have a alexa i was connected to another phone after 1 month the alexa app is uninstalled from that phone. So i need to reconnect it,...! So, how can do it
Bless You~! Totally different from Google's garbage. Thank you!
My gen 2 dot powers up to a solid blue ring. The action button does nothing. Unlike the gen 1 this hockey puck has no apparent external reset botton.
Same

Very helpful keep up the good work 👌
I have second gen mines not responding to anything if I hold the power button it go’s to a plan blue ring bug if I don’t it has the greenish small ring god around then shuts of then dose it again it dosent response to the reset and I tried the paper clip thing but it still didn’t do anything I don’t know if I did that wrong or not help would be appreciated or is she just broken? Like forever
Figured out the problem, the cord I had wasn’t giving it enough power, so just switch cord hope this helps someone
M c what kind of cord should I try
I still have the blue cycling ring. I followed your instructions, this didn't work.
Hold the button for longer

I bought a used Echo Dot from my niece, she's out of town and out of touch. Is it possible I can do this as well?
It works completely!!OMG
Thanks man, you the goat!
The BEST site for sorting out completely inactive Alexa's!! Thank you sooo much - It's all up and running perfectly now, great!
Thank you SOO much
my alexa is confused lol. i think i have a 1st generation echo dot and even though it’s not set up yet there is a constant circling blue light the happens. and then when i try to re-set it like the guy in the video just did the echo dot turns a SOLID green color and doesn’t change. I even tried getting a paper clip to press the reset button in the middle and that also does nothing. Help please! I’ve had it for so long I’d like to actually use it.
Thank you 😊
I'm a new sub...ty
Thank you!
Very thankful vedio
i accidentally did it and now i have to redo Everything can i go back? HELP :(
No, sorry for u
FOREVER UPDATING LOOP FIX
If your Echo Dot is stuck in an Updating Loop forever, do this. ON the Roating Red Ring, press and hold MUTE and MINUS buttons down simultaneously for about 30 seconds until it says "Removing your SmartHome Devices" and then release them. Wait a bit and then when you press the Action button and your Echo will say "Now ready for Setup". Or you can unplug and plug it, and it will play the new Welcome Tone and saying your device "Is now ready for setup, go to the Alexa App".
Go to the Alexa App and chose the bottom right icon for Settings and then chose "Add New Device" and chose "Echo Dot". You'll see it listed if detected via Bluetooth... pick it... and then pick your Wifi Hotspot for it to connect to as you've been through before.
Tada... your Echo is back, but the WAKE Word has been reset to "Alexa" so you'll have to change it back to whatever you prefer, i.e. "Alexa, change my Wake Word to Echo/Computer/Amazon/Ziggy/Alexa"...
This will last until the next Power Outage / Power Cycling of your Alexa at which point the dmmnn thing will try to update again and get stuck in the update loop like it did before. Still, you can at least bring it back from the dead until then.

Nice thanks bro❤

did it work?
Mines keeps going to set up mode when it's already set up. How to fix . Wifi is fine. It Played music, also I ask for the weather n news headlines. All played . But it is n set up mode.
She's dying...help
Thank you for your help young man if I could kiss n hug you most definitely would many thanks once again mwah 💙💋
Ayye thanks so much
Any time
I need help with something I have the same one as you and it only responds to Echo I want it to respond by Alexa can you help me
If you haven’t already figured it out, it’s very simple. All you do is say “Echo” and when it responds, say “Change your name to Alexa” and it should change it. Hope this helps.👍
What about Amazon Alexa? Does it do the same thing?
Yes, this will work for most newer Amazon Echo devices that don't have a screen.
Will I lose the routines / skills when I do this?
yep
My alexa can't recognize my voice ever since i switch accounts it says " sorry I'm having issues right now"
mabye try conecting it to wifi
Lately mine is off every morning and having to 7nplug to reset
She was ready to get thrown out the window 🙈 THANK YOU ❤
Mine wont turn off explicit filter
i think there’s something wrong with my alexa. it’s saying that it’s ready for set up and the light is orange but i don’t want it to reset i think i might’ve done it on accident. and i can’t talk to it either. do you know what’s happening?
4 years and this still helps
The fact I almost raged & broke this stupid thing makes me not even want to use it anymore
omg .............so very grateful ... i tried everything .. amazing x
I did it but when I plugged it back in the orange kept going for a while
Is the WiFi needed
Not to reset the Echo Dot.
What if that doesn’t work?
These are the same instructions that you get step-by-step in the Alexa app. What do you do when those steps and your steps don't work?
yeah i’m having the same problem
Same I've done everything
Mine just turns blue
Thanks
Welcome, thanks for subscribing.
It didn’t work:/ a purple like thing go around the light thing and then freezes
I actually didn't want to reset it. I just wanted to connect it to the new internet because we changed companies. I guess I didn't have much of a choice because it just would not connect. This worked. Thank you.
None of my buttons will respond at all.
I had a meltdown
Omg thanks
Welcome, thanks for the support.
My echo Dot id's password and I tried that forgot password but it's saying that we have blocked your attempts to reset password could you help me with that??
I changed my wifi password and the phone of mine which had alexa app It broke so any helps pls
Will this help if I can't disable the mute microphone function? I tried using it for the first time since I've have Alexa. I pressed the button and now I can't unmute it.
Worked!
Great to hear!
But will this wipe out the wifi account choice that I no longer have? I had Xfinity and switched to Verizon but the Verizon account doesn't show up. It was not an issue on my other echo.
thank you so much !!!!!!
Can you please help me set up audible clock. When I enabled it it worked only one time and than it won’t . I want my eco dot chime every hour. I don’t know if that is possible
