As a rule, the only legitimate reasons to reset an AirTag are if someone gave you one but forgot to unpair it, or a stalker deliberately planted one on you without your consent. If you do need to take the reset route, here’s what to do:
Remove the steel battery cover by pressing down on it and turning counterclockwise. When it stops rotating, you can pull it off.
Remove the battery then put it back in. This might be a good time to pop in a fresh one.
Press down on the battery (new or old) until you hear a tone. This tells you the battery is connected.
Repeat the removal and replacement process four more times, making sure you hear a sound each time.
The fifth sound should be different — if you hear it, that means the AirTag is ready to pair and set up again.
