Honestly, restarting a quest isn't straightforward in Fallout 4, especially on consoles. I once tried all the tricks to fix a bugged quest – reloading saves, waiting in-game days away from the quest area, even avoiding the quest NPCs for a while. Eventually, it just... worked again. Patience (or a PC for those console commands) is key!
Unfortunately, you can't reset quests in Fallout 4 the way you might think. If you're playing on PC, though, you can use console commands. Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~), then type 'resetquest questID' where 'questID' is the ID of the quest you're trying to reset. Make sure to save your game before doing this, as console commands can sometimes cause unexpected issues.
If you're stuck on a quest because of a bug, sometimes just loading an earlier save can solve the problem. It's not exactly resetting the quest, but it's often the easiest workaround.
