Which might not be the one plugged in to. Look around for which one has the buttons and try to reset it.

and to add, check in the bathroom.

My pressure washer has a GFCI built in to its cord. Check for that as well.

I also have one extension cord that for some reason has a circuit breaker in it. It tripped on time when I was running a saw and drove me batty for about 5 minutes while I figured out what was wrong.
