Outlet is in our Master Bathroom which controls the outlets in our garage. This morning the light was on the outlet and we tried hitting the reset button numerous time and would not reset. All outlets to the garage would not work. I went home at lunch time and hit the reset button and the button reset just fine with light going off on outlet and power to all outlets in garage was now working. What would cause this and will this keep happening? Please help

Could be a lizzard in a box and making a connection between either the hot or neutral to ground, or something may have dried out?
