I have two separate bathrooms at opposite ends of the house. The plug-ins have been work find until this week. They both have the test and reset buttons on the front of them. One is red and the other one is black. I have checked the buttons. They are fine. I have pushed the rest button and it did not affect the plug-ins. I have checked the breaker box and they are all good as well. The indicator light on the front of the outlets are not lite up. All help would be greatly apprec. Vennell

Some lite when tripped, some light when power present.
Newer GFI's won't reset unless power at line side(breaker not tripped).
Since both baths have GFI's, they are less likely to be in series. One protecting the other.
I would verify power at panel. Worse case, remove GFI's and see how wired.
Anything on load?

You have to really push the reset bottons on the plugs. They are hard to push all the way with just your finger so try using something like a car key or the end of a pen or something likr that

I have tried to reset it didn't work. I checked the breaker. It was OK also. I took one of the plugs out and noticed that the wires are wired to the bottom plug. I tried testing the wires, but didn't get anything. All the other plugs, lights in adjacent rooms work.

Baths usually have their own circuit.
Sometimes their will be GFI in one bath, and other bath will be on load side of first bath.
If Both baths worked and went out as same time. Still may be on load side of GFI?

If all else, and all breakers test good. Remove gfi, plug extersion cord into known good outlet. Bring end of cord near wires, where gfi was removed. Now measure between extension cord hot and recpticle neutral, no power? You lost neutral. Othr test will show you lost hot.
3 things:
If you lost hot only: Bad connection, bad breaker, or on switch, or switch problem.
If you lost hot and neutral: Likely load side of GFI.
If you lost hot, neutral and ground, then carpenter cut through with saw.(don't ask)
