Let it cool, then press it harder. Most resets take a lot of force to
reset. Don't bang on it, just a good firm push with your thumb...

Check the breaker, or (as in my shop) the breaker built in to the extension
cords.

If there's a reset button, it's likely on the side of the motor.

Here's a guess:
Just how long was the motor jammed before you cut power? How was power
cut? By you flipping the switch or the breaker kicking out?
I wonder if the motor overheated to the point where a weak link in the
motor - the winding, a solder joint, etc. blew out like a fuse.
Just a thought but one I'd certainly look into.
