I tried to change my touchpad settings by using these commands:

xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Finger" 50 90 255
xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Noise Cancellation" 20 20
xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Finger" 50 90 255

but then I have to press much harder for touchpad to work. Is it possible to reset these settings?

All what you have to do is a system reset(reboot) since all done by xinput is not permanent, which means all of your work is gone when you reboot, so you just have to do that.

To make xinput permanent refer to those:

    What if one doesn't want to reboot, i.e. if you are in the middle of some work? Oct 20, 2016 at 20:34

The only workaround I've found is to disconnect and then reconnect the device. Remember that if this is a wireless mouse or the like, you'll likely need to disconnect the dongle or Bluetooth device and then reconnect/add it.
