Amazon Echo Dot 2nd Gen speaker, original package, with Inner spacer protector container pulled out.
You may need to know how to reset an Echo Dot Gen 2 speaker, because perhaps you wish to sell it to a friend. Or you just want to connect it to a different Amazon account, or to a new WiFi network. So, to those ends, follow the directions next.
Resetting unlinks the speaker from its current Amazon account, and assures that it forgets its current WiFi connection information. So be warned that after reset, your speaker will not work until it’s been properly set up again.
Connect the Echo Dot Gen 2 to its USB power adapter. The light ring will glow blue for a time, and then go out, meaning that boot up has completed.
See our Where is the Echo Dot Reset Button post, for more details on how to find the reset button on Echo Dot devices. But we’ll give you a hint in the next picture.
With the speaker powered up, press and hold the Mic Off and Volume Down buttons until the reset starts. Release them once the light ring changes patterns.
After a several-seconds pause, the light ring goes completely dark for a few seconds, and then turns orange.
Your speaker has now been reset to its factory default settings and has entered setup mode.
You may now disconnect, package up, and give your Echo Dot Gen 2 smart speaker to someone else without worry that they’ll access your Alexa account settings. Those prior values are now wiped from the your speaker.
Or, you can set the Echo Dot Gen 2 up once again on your current account. Once the light ring turns orange, the unit stays in Setup until someone runs the Alexa setup procedure again. Note that this speaker will not function until rightly set up and linked once again to an Amazon account.
