If you’re planning on selling your Ring Doorbell or experiencing some issues with it, you might want to consider resetting it back to its factory default settings. Fortunately, resetting your device is simple and can be done in just a few steps. In this post, we will guide you through the process of resetting your Ring Doorbell.

To begin, you will need a Torx bit screwdriver, which usually comes with your Ring Doorbell. If you don’t have one, you can use a T15 bit instead. Start by unscrewing the device from the mounting bracket, but you don’t have to remove the screws completely. Just go a little way and then push up on the doorbell to release it from the bracket.

Next, turn the device upside down and hold down the orange button for at least 15 seconds. This will reset your Ring Doorbell back to its factory default settings. Once you’ve completed this step, you can now sell your device or set it up again if you’ve been experiencing problems with it.

If you want to remove your Ring Doorbell completely from your account, grab your phone or device and click on the menu on the side. From there, go down to “devices” and select your doorbell. Click on the gear icon at the top and then hit “remove device.” The app will ask you to confirm, and once you do, the doorbell will be removed from your account.

To reattach your Ring Doorbell, align it with the mounting bracket and push down until it locks into place. Finally, tighten the screws back up, and you’re finished.

By following these simple steps, you can reset your Ring Doorbell and get back to using it with ease.
