You can also deregister the device through the Alexa app by choosing the settings.

Go to Settings>> Device Settings>> Choose your Echo device>. Scroll down and deregister.

In that situation, you need an Amazon professional help to figure out the possible solution to this problem.

If the device registration is not the problem, overlapping the Wi-Fi network could be. Sometimes the Alexa device is unable to differentiate between the various Wi-Fi channels on it works present within the same building or property. In order to overcome this situation, you need to turn off all the networks and second channels while registering your Alexa device.
