Note: In case, USB debugging is not enabled on your device you can reset your resolution this way. You will have to download Aroma file manager and put it on your SDcard. You have to then copy a file named build.prop from the /system directory and put it on your SDcard.

The next thing you need to do is- remove the SDcard and connect it to your PC. Use a file editor to open build.prop and enter the following code:

persist.service.adb.enable=1

persist.service.debuggable=1

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Then attach the SDcard to your phone again and copy and overwrite the existing build.prop file with the recently edited build.prop. This will enable USB debugging and you can now follow the above steps to set your screen resolution back to normal on your android device.
