Remodeling bathroom I took original light (set up by electrician) and put up a basic temporary fixture. No problems. Finished remodel and replaced temporary with original. Breaker won’t reset. I’ve taken down the light and capped the wires, tried reset but breaker wouldn’t reset, then replaced temporary, tried reset and still breaker won’t reset. This circuit runs half my basement. I’ve wired enough lights, fans etc to know I haven’t crossed wires.

Sometimes you have to push the breaker all the way in the 'wrong' way then reset it. I don't know why this sometimes works but it has for me on multiple occasions
