How To Reset an Alexa Echo When It Is Not Responding?

Wondering how to reset an Alexa Echo? When your Alexa Echo is unresponsive or acts strangely, a reset might be the solution to clear up the software issues. Initially, unplugging the device and plugging it back in for a simple restart is the easiest way. Should that fail, you can use the Alexa app to deregister and reset the speaker or physically press the right buttons on the Echo device. Depending on your generation, holding the Microphone Off + Volume Down, or the Action button, for 20-25 seconds will cause the ring light to cycle and reset it to setup mode.
