  • In this video I give you step by step instructions on how to factory reset the Amazon Echo Show.
    This demonstration is on the 2nd generation Echo show 8 but it will work on the show 5 and 10 inch amazon echo show as well.
    This is something you will want to do if you want to give an old echo show to family or friends, or if you want to sell and old device.

    Once again, a clear, concise, and helpful video... Thank you Daniel. 👍
    (It's hard to believe that an electronic device has been created with an uncomplicated factory reset process!) 🥴

      F.Y.I. Actually it's NOT the best way to Reset AS I'll explain. When you "reset" your EchoShow this way it actually Doesn't REMOVE all the thing's that you have already Setup in your Settings, as you'll see if you do the Factory Reset "This Way."
      As you'll see rather quickly when you set it the EchoShow up again that over 75% of what your Echoshow has "Learned" by the User is STILL in the Device and Working.
      This RESET Feature Explained here is called a "Soft Reset."
      You need to actually do what is called a "Hard Reset" to get it back to just Out of The Box State.

    If the screen is unresponsive or stuck on the echo screen after rebooting, you can do a factory reset by holding down the mute and volume down buttons. Oh, and whilst it is called a factory reset, it still retained all of the info from my account before doing the factory reset soooo, it's not really a factory reset but did get me out of a hole where I was stuck on the echo screen and the screen was unresponsive.

    You may try to reset it but the fact is that these mediatek-powered Echo devices cannot be made absolutely clean of our data.

      No it will NOT ERASE 💯% of your Data do to the MediaTek Chip Rios device uses. It retains between 50% & 75% of your DATA Will REMAIN on the EchoShow device. If you look online you can use a Computer to connect to IT and Truly wipe it 💯% Clean for Resale Purposes. Hope this info helps you. Took me some research to Truly Wipe it. But the info. is definitely on the WWW.
