# RESET

> Reset the connection.

Use `RESET` to return the connection to the state it had right after connecting.

It discards an open [`MULTI`](/docs/redis/commands/transactions/multi) block, unwatches every key watched with [`WATCH`](/docs/redis/commands/transactions/watch), leaves subscriber and monitor modes, clears the connection name, re-enables replies, and de-authenticates the connection when the database requires a password. This makes it the safe way to hand a connection back to a pool after an error, since the next user cannot inherit a half-finished transaction or a leftover subscription.

## Syntax

```redis theme={"system"}
RESET
```

## Arguments

This command takes no arguments.

## Important points

* This is a connection-oriented command and is available over native Redis TCP, not the stateless REST endpoint.

## Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.

| Protocol | Reply                 |
| -------- | --------------------- |
| RESP2    | Simple string `RESET` |
| RESP3    | Simple string `RESET` |

<Note>
  Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.
</Note>

## Examples

TCP examples use the TLS `REDIS_URL` from the Upstash console. REST examples use `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`.
