Reset
Updated: 10/17/2017 by Computer Hope
Reset may refer to any of the following:
1. In general, reset refers to adjusting a hardware device's settings to a previously functional state, i.e., before a failure occurred. For example, if your computer generates an error and cannot close, it must be restarted using the reset button before it can be operational again.
2. With binary, reset describes a bit set to a value of 0 (zero). The bit may also be called "zeroed out."
