Library - Quick Develop Panel [Reset All]
Will return you to the Imported State.

Unfortunately, that trips over LR's inconsistent handling of selections -- it only resets the current photo. You need to use Quick Develop > Reset All as suggested by Rikk (or the dangerous Auto Sync).
With many commands operating on a photo in Loupe view in Develop or Library, invoking them from the top menu acts just on the current photo, but invoking them via-right-clicking on the filmstrip applies to all the selected photos. For example, that's how Paste Settings, Update AI Settings, Auto White Balance, and Auto Settings work. But right-click Develop Settings > Reset only acts on the current photo. That's just one of the many inconsistencies that makes it hard even for experts to remember the behavior:
