How to reset a PS5 controller

To reset a PS5 controller, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the PlayStation 5 console.
2. Locate the reset button on the back of the controller, near the L2 button.
3. Use a small object, such as a paperclip or pin, to press and hold the reset button for a few seconds.
4. Release the reset button, then turn on the PlayStation 5 console.
5. The controller should now be reset and ready to be paired with the console.

If you are having trouble resetting the controller, try the following:

1. Make sure the controller is charged and turned on.
2. Try resetting the controller a few more times, making sure to hold the reset button for a few seconds each time.
3. If the controller still won’t reset, try connecting it to the console using a USB cable and see if that helps.
4. If none of these steps work, you may need to replace the controller or bring it in for repair.
