How do I reset my trust settings?
I by mistake selected the 'Don't Trust' option instead of 'Trust' for my windows PC, now when I reconnect it doesn't ask me again. How can I change this setting?
iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.1

Change your settings for trusted computers
Your iOS device remembers the computers you've chosen to trust.
If you don't want to trust a computer or other device anymore, change the privacy settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Now when you connect to formerly trusted computers, the Trust alert will ask you whether you trust that computer.
Even thought the steps are specifically mentioning trusted computers, they are also relevant to reset when you accidentally don't trust.
Have a great day!
