How to Reset a GFCI Outlet: Repair and Troubleshooting Tips
Your breaker won''t power up if you try pushing it into the “On” position right away, so reset the breaker by pushing it until it clicks into the “Off” position.
To reset a GFCI circuit breaker, press the test button to trip the reset button. Then, push the reset button back in to restore power to the circuit. Make sure to test your outlets annually as part of your electrical inspection.

Plug the rest of your devices into the outlets on the circuit one at a time so you don't overload the circuit. If your GFCI outlet trips again and you lose power to the outlets, you may be plugging too many things into the circuit. If nothing turns on when you plug it in, then you may have to reset the breaker.
Replace the GFCI outlet if it still doesn't work. Turn off the breaker that controls the circuit with the breaker so you don't shock yourself. Unscrew the old GFCI outlet from the wall and detach all of the wires that connect to it. Connect the wires to the screws on the new GFCI outlet before screwing it back in and testing it.
