reinitializing
Resetting to start
Reinitializing is resetting something to its original starting state, typically in computing contexts.
A program or system that has been running accumulates changes; reinitializing wipes those away and starts fresh: Try reinitializing the router if the connection drops.
The term applies beyond technology to any process of returning to baseline conditions.
