I trying to get echo dot set up & having a problem

I don’t want to change my password or anything with my Amazon account.

Short summary:

If you receive an error message indicating an incorrect Wi-Fi password, try resetting the password.
Press and hold the "Action" button on the Echo Dot for about 25 seconds until the light ring turns orange and then blue. This will reset the device to factory settings.
After the reset, the Echo Dot should enter setup mode. Follow the setup instructions provided by the device.
Turn off the Echo Dot and then turn it back on.
Read through the setup instructions carefully and follow them to connect the Echo Dot to your Wi-Fi network.
During the setup process, you'll be prompted to enter your email and password for your Amazon account. Make sure to provide the correct information.
Once the setup is complete, the Echo Dot will display a message saying "Your Echo is ready."
If the device is now logged into your Amazon account, it should be ready to use.
To test the functionality, try speaking to the Echo Dot. It should respond to your commands.
If the device doesn't respond, give it a moment. Sometimes it may take a few seconds to process the command.
If the Echo Dot still doesn't respond, try giving it a specific command, such as asking it to play a song or provide the weather information.
If the device responds and performs the requested action, it means it is functioning correctly.

ok don’t go away
I turned it off, turned on read thru the instructions, did it. It just said “your echo is ready”. Is there anything else I need to do?
