+## Resetting Database
+
+**NOTE:** This applies only to Talawa API developers.
+
+Sometimes you may want to start all over again from scratch. These steps ensure all tables emptied and the default administrator account automatically restored.

+This applies to users running Talawa API in dev containers.
+
+1. Once the server is running, open a new terminal session.
+
+2. Open a bash session inside the running container:
+
+  ```bash
+  docker exec -it talawa-api-1 /bin/bash
+  ```
+
+3. **WARNING:** This command will **DELETE** all data from each table in your database, administrator roles will be restored. Use with extreme caution.
+
+  ```bash
+  pnpm run reset:db
+  ```
+
+4. This command will add sample data to make it easier for developers to get an understanding of the application.

+  ```bash
+  pnpm run add:sample_data
