Can I reset my Ring doorbell?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

You can reset your Ring doorbell. Sometimes, performing a reset can help resolve issues with the device or troubleshoot any connectivity problems. The process to reset your Ring doorbell is relatively simple, and I will guide you through the steps.

To begin, locate the orange button on your Ring doorbell. This button can usually be found on the side or back of the device. Once you have located it, you will need to press and hold the orange button for approximately 20 seconds. It’s important to ensure that you hold it down for the entire duration to initiate the reset.

While holding down the button, you may notice the light on the front of the doorbell flashing. This flashing light indicates that the device is restarting. After about 20 seconds, you can release the orange button. However, please note that the entire reset process may take up to a minute to complete.

During this time, the Ring doorbell will reboot and restore its default settings. This can help eliminate any temporary glitches or errors that may have occurred. Once the reset is complete, the doorbell should be ready for use again.

It’s worth mentioning that performing a hard reset will remove any custom settings or configurations you may have made on the device. This includes any personalized motion detection zones, Wi-Fi network settings, or device preferences. Therefore, it’s essential to keep this in mind and be prepared to reconfigure your doorbell after the reset.

To summarize, to reset your Ring doorbell, locate the orange button and hold it down for 20 seconds. After releasing the button, the doorbell will restart, and the light on the front will flash. Please be patient, as the reset process may take a minute to complete. Remember to reconfigure your doorbell’s settings after the reset, as it will restore to its default state.

I hope this explanation helps you reset your Ring doorbell successfully. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
