How do you find a triped circuit?
Check the circuit panel / breaker box. The tripped breaker should be partway between 'OFF' and 'ON'. If nothing else, turn the breakers off then on, one at a time and when the tripped breaker is reset, the circuit should be live again. Also check GFI outlets. If one is in fault condition, it will need to be reset. If the tripped GFI outlet is protecting other outlets, they will come back when the tripped GFI is reset. These sockets seem to hide in many cases... Behind microwave ovens for example or refrigerators.

The electrical Breaker will not reset?
To reset a breaker move the handle completely to the off position. If it had tripped you will feel a little resistance as it goes to the off position. If this doesn't restore the power the breaker is either bad and in need of replacement, or there is a persistent fault in the circuit causing the breaker to immediately re-trip. Breakers are safety devices.
