Yes, you can reset a dead phone. First, try a hard reset by holding down the power and volume buttons simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds. If this doesn't work, charge the phone for at least 30 minutes using a different charger and cable to rule out power issues. If the phone still doesn't turn on, connecting it to a computer and using device management software (e.g., iTunes for iPhones or Android Device Manager) may help in resetting the device.
