I'm talking about "Shuffle reset utility"
is possible?
One time i read in some place that this is possible
but i don't remember if is about restore or reset
utility, i rebember that i need to press two keys
togther during 15 seconds...


Non-shuffle iPods can be reset by toggling the Hold switch and then pressing and holding both the Menu and Select (center) buttons simultaneously for at least 6 second. But this doesn't apply to a shuffle which is "reset" by switching it off for 5 seconds and then back on again.

Is the above what you meant?

And about reset, is possible do it on ipod using own
keys to do?


Depends on what you mean by reset. To reset turn iPod shuffle off, wait five seconds, then turn it on again. IF you mean the complete reset of the shuffle's file system, that's the restore function in iTunes. IF you mean the replacement of the shuffle's firmware, that's the function of the "shuffle Reset Utility"...
