Hello there:
To reset the unit there is 2 ways to do this first unplug the unit and remove the battery
Find the reset button if your version has one and hold in for 3 minutes and than return the battery to the case and insert back in unit.and plug in unit and turn on.
OR
the master reset may be reset by unplugging the unit and removing the battery and leaving the unit sit overnight giving the onboard relearn center time to reset it'self normally 3-6 hrs.
However i would refer to your users manual because all models will differ just a little bit. ok
best regards michael

Master pin reset

There is no master PIN reset. You have to either send the unit back to Garmin or go to the secure location where the PIN was set to unlock the unit or enter the correct PIN.

How do I perform a Master Reset on a Garmin 605

This was described in a previous answer. I was cut and pasted. I hope that it is helpful to you!

In order to reset Garmin device or enter into maintenance mode, perform one of the following procedures:

Turn off Garmin device. Press down on bottom right corner of the touchscreen, and then power on the GPS unit. You should be prompted whether do you really want to erase all user data, or asked if do you really want to start up in maintenance mode. Press "Yes" to reset (warning: all data will be erased and lost, so backup before proceeding) or enter maintenance mode.
If entering maintenance mode, it's also possible to perform master reset by selecting clear user data option.

Once the device has been hard reset, you have to perform the set up procedure again upon start up. Note that erase user data command only delete data in the Garmin unit's memory that isn't accessible to the user when the unit is connected to computer. The command does not erase .gpi or .gpx files loaded (if your .gpx files contain any waypoints then they will automatically be imported into Favorites), nor will delete any MP3 music, JPG photos or any other files that have been stored on the GPS memory card.
Once the Garmin GPS unit is reseted, remember to place the device outside where there is a clear unobstructed view of the sky for 15 - 30 minutes in order for it to requires fix to GPS satellites.
Unfortunately, even if you perform master reset on Garmin GPS unit, it does not reset Garmin Lock security feature, which password-protect most Garmin electronic devices to deter theft. If you forget the PIN or password unlock code to unlock the Garmin unit, the best solution is to bring it to Garmin to get unlocked. "Secure Location" does not unlock a locked Garmin unit either as it's only a temporary fix as when it's turn on outside the security location, the device is locked again.

MY Garmin first Said that it was acquiring a satellite then it is stuck in one city and won't clear to set another route. what can i do?

Did it actually acquire any satellites. If not try the reset button on the back. If nothing then do a master reset - you may lose some of your locations previously stored or user data. If none of these work or before you try them try an external antenna.

Can't unlock my garmin nuvi 680

There is NO master reset code. Whoever told you this was wrong. You have to use your security location to unlock it. Otherwise, you have to send it in to Garmin with the original receipt from an authorized Garmin dealer. This is to prevent use of the unit in case of theft.

Unlock

A Master Reset WILL NOT reset the PIN. Your only options for unlocking a PIN locked Garmin are:
1 - Enter the correct PIN
2 - Take the unit to the location at which the PIN was originally entered
3 - Send the unit back to Garmin.
