Button to restart app

I've been making an app that I need help with. After I do what I want the app to do, it goes to a new page. when I press the go back button, it is still in the same state as when I left. I want the first view to completely reset when I hit the button. Any suggestions as to how to do this? Any help is appreciated!

Here is code for what the button currently does:

- (IBAction)retry:(id)sender 
{
   [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

What you need is the -(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated;

Implement viewWillAppear on your initially displayed viewController as following:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    //
    //put your code to reset this viewController into its initial state here
    //
    [self resetAllStatesBackToDefault];
}

As an example, suppose you got a UITextField on that first viewController that is named textField;

- (void)resetAllStatesBackToDefault
{
    self.textField.text = @"";
}
