(Spyder-dev here)

We will include a way to reset spyder configuration from within the user interface in the upcoming version (3.0.0).

In the meantime you can reset by opening a terminal window (cmd in windows.. shell in Mac/Linux) and typing

spyder --reset

If that still does not work you can erase the folder .spyder in your user folder

Windows X:\Users\username\.spyder2\ (or X:\Users\username\.spyder\)

Linux \home\username\.spyder2\ (or \home\username\.spyder\)
