Did you perform a "factory reset"? On the newer doorbells you have to press the reset button for at least 12 seconds.

Yes I have tried the reser already

What happens when you try to reinstall your doorbell in the Google Nest app or Google Home app? (I don't know which doorbell you have.)

I have the doorbell so I try to reinstall 6p the home app. And it keeps telling me to get closer to the device and make sure they are on the same wifi 

@Shay478 

I'm just another Google Nest customer, but that seems like how the doorbell would behave if it had NOT been factory reset and still has the old Wi-Fi settings, making it impossible to reach on your new Wi-Fi network (new because it has a new password).

You may have done this already, but did you press the reset pin for at least 12 seconds until the LED status light turned a steady solid yellow and you heard a confirmation tone?  (It seems many customers report difficulty in getting cameras and doorbells to actually reset.)

Yes I have done all of those things even Uninstalled and  reinstalled the home app Still nothing

I'm out of ideas. You could try contacting Support using the link below, clicking "Next step" on the "Resources" page to skip researching the help links to get to the phone call or chat contact options:
