We offer our Alexa 3rd generation speaker reset instructions here. So why would you ever reset this speaker?
In all these cases, a factory reset is best because it clears out old account data from the speaker’s memory.
To unlink the Alexa 3rd generation from its current Amazon account, run through the routine below.
Note that if you’re just troubleshooting weird speaker behavior, you may not need a full hard reset. So, before resetting, try turning off the 3 for fifteen seconds. Since it has no power switch, do this by unplugging the power cable from the wall outlet. Then, wait for a quarter minute. Then, plug it back in. Rebooting, and not resetting, often restores correct function. But if not, read on for the proper Alexa Generation 3 reset instructions.
Once reset, you’ll no longer have access this speaker from your Amazon account. To get control of it again, run through the setup routine. There, relink the Alexa 3 to that account again via the Alexa app.
First, plug in the speaker to its AC cord, as shown next.
See this as shown next.
Then, wait for the unit to power up. It’s done when either the light ring goes completely dark, or flashes orange, red, or purple.
Depress the Action button. Then hold it in until the light ring turns orange.
Shortly after that, the speaker says that it is in Setup mode. The Action button also functions as the Reset button, and is pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
Your speaker is now set back to its factory default state. Plus, it goes into Setup mode after reset, as shown next.
You may now give your speaker to another. No fear that they’ll get into the Alexa settings on your Amazon account. This is because you erased it with the reset. Or, set it up again on your account. But if giving away, we suggest that you pack it up in the carton it came in. See this box next.
