A reset processing method for an electronic device. The method comprises: A, upon receiving a reset request, invoking a preset reset program to perform reset processing on data (S10); B, creating, according to the reset request, a record file for recording reset processing state information (S11); C, storing the record file in a preset storage area, and deleting the record file upon successful reset (S12); D, when the electronic device is restarted, detecting whether the record file exists in the preset storage area (S13), if yes, performing step E, and if not, performing step F; E, re-invoking the preset reset program to perform reset processing on the data (S14); and F, directly starting the electronic device (S15). The reset success rate is increased, and the system operation stability is improved.
