resetter

One who restarts

A resetter is someone or something that resets—returning a device, system, or situation to its original state.

In technical contexts, a resetter might be a tool or mechanism that restores factory settings: The technician used a resetter on the circuit breaker.

In Scots law, a resetter is one who receives stolen goods, from an unrelated word meaning to harbor or conceal.
