What Will Resetting a Wyze Lock Do?

When it comes to problems with technology, the simplest solution is usually to turn it off and on.  With the Wyze lock, there is no plug that you can remove, so the easiest way to do this is to just hold down the reset button for a few seconds.

Remember, the reset button just restarts the device, it will not actually reset it to a factory setting. 

Once you reset the device,it should help solve any minor problems you are having. However, you may want to consult your Wyze app to see if your settings are actually the issue, not the device itself.

Can You Reset a Wyze Lock to Factory Settings?

Now that you know that holding down the reset button won’t return your Wyze lock to factory settings, you may be wondering how you can do so. 

The bad news is, you cannot reset a Wyze to factory settings. This may affect your Wyze lock if you purchased it second-hand and another account is already connected. 

What to Do if a Wyze Lock is Connected to Another Account?

So let’s break it down: the only real reason why you would need to reset your Wyze lock to its factory settings would be to disconnect from a previously paired account so that you can easily connect it to your Wyze account on the app.

Now, the good news is, a Wyze lock can be disconnected from the account it is currently paired with, but the owner of the Wyze account needs to log in to do so. Once they have disconnected, the Wyze lock will essentially be a brand new lock and you can simply pair it to your own account! 

The only time this can become a problem is if you do not have contact with the previous owner of the lock and therefore cannot get them to sign out of their account on the app. To avoid this problem, we don’t recommend buying a second hand Wyze lock from a stranger unless you ensure they have disconnected their account. 

How Do You Reconnect a Wyze Lock?

If you successfully reset your Wyze lock by holding down the “Reset” button located on the top of the device, it should automatically reconnect to your app and WiFi, but there is a chance that it has trouble immediately pairing. 

Luckily, this an extremely easy problem to fix, just follow these simple instructions: 

• Stand close to the lock with your smartphone in hand with the Wyze app open.
• Take off the battery protector on the Wyze lock. 
• Hold down the “Pairing” button on the top left corner and release once it beeps.
• A light on the lock itself should start flashing. 
• You will be prompted on your app to press “Next”

Your Wyze lock should now be reset and paired once again! So you can once again enjoy controlling your home security from your phone.
