Power cycle the device???
Genuine question.
It means do a complete shut down, let the capacitors drain their charges, then power it back up. And it's the only way to guarantee that you've completely cleared stuff - a restart may not clear the RAM or system BUS.
I've probably been using computers longer than you've been alive. I taught myself 6502 Machine Code programming because Basic was so slow that the programs I was trying to write were unusable.
Unfortunately my circumstances (being a gay man financially trapped in a small southern town - with a family dram determined to use me as slave labor and support THEM - unable to get jobs working anywhere other than McBurger holes where I worked 45 to 60 hours a week) my levels of intelligence and knowledge have never gotten me anywhere.

Crikey, you must be proper wrinkly, I'm 49 this month.

You normally call it a complete shut down, which I do anyway, and I don't go back for least 10 minutes if I can help it.
Haven't heard you powercycle before.
