Generally the reason people want to reset it, is that they are concerned about rollover. Instead of focusing on resetting millis(), here is how to use it correctly.
Need to brush up on how millis() works? I’ve got a tutorial on how to effectively multi-task with millis() and another line-by-line tutorial on blink Without delay
Avoiding rollover and checking how much time as passed is done in a single line:
