In this video we take a look at an alternative way to de-register and factory reset an Amazon Echo Show 5. So in this example, we use the Amazon Alexa App to perform a factory reset.
The reset process will first disassociate our Echo Show from our Amazon account. It will then via the internet, send a command to perform a factory reset on our Echo Show.
The reset sequence shown in this video. Is the same procedure used if you wish to de-register and factory reset any Amazon Echo device. This includes both the Echo Show or an Echo Spot.
