I don't know of a one click solution, but you can reset some tools by clicking on a paint brush that appears in the tool settings bar when a tool is selected. You can also change defaults for different things in under file>inkscape preferences and going through item by item, or by double clicking a tool in the toolbar at left to bring up its preferences. I am not sure it would help to go back to the defaults anyway because they are not all that great to begin with. Once you set them how you want them, save your own defaults file. see dan99.blogspot.com for a tutorial on this. This is a major area of weaknness with Inkscape, I think as it seems to randomly change defaults with no easy way to recover, but you will eventually get used to checking the settings before you start clicking to minimize the frustration.
