I am not native English speaker. For me revert in this case means: set timer 
back to the time when I've walked away from the computer.

That's actually what user needs. May be word "Revert" is not accurate for 
this. I do not know.

If you  are native speaker, and can offer better word for that describe the 
situation, it would be great.
