Bathroom outlets don't work!!

All of a sudden none of the outlets in any of our 2 and a half bathrooms work. There is no reset button on any outlet in our house, if that makes any difference. I have not checked the breaker box because the lights are on in the bathrooms (and b/c I haven't gotten around to digging a path through my garage!).

What should I do? Thanks! (By the way, our house is 14 years old. Maybe that will provide you a clue as to the type of outlets we have.)

Check the circuit breaker. If it is not tripped, then there is most likely a GFCI reset button to be found. Check the basement, garage and front and back yards.

about a year or so ago...

About a year or so ago on poster was very adamant the she had no GFCI outlets in her house. After several days she finally found it hidden behind some boxes.

Keep looking.
