Investopedia explains 'Reset Date'

The new interest rate calculated on the reset date will be based on an index value such as the interest rate of one-year Treasury bonds or the London Interbank Offered Rate. This rate fluctuates as market conditions change. The other component of the interest rate in an adjustable rate mortgage is the lender's margin, which does not change during the life of the loan.
