You will have to hard-code this functionality. You will need to create a pushbutton and then under that new pushbutton function you will have to use "set" to restore all your edit boxes back to blank space or a default value. I.e.,
set(handles.my_edit_box,'String','');
or
set(handles.my_edit_box,'String','some_default_value');

If there are a lot of edit boxes, you could set the Tag property on each edit box and use FINDOBJ to change the value of all these controls

Well, findobj to locate the boxes whose String is to be set
set(findobj('Tag','ResetAllowed'),'String',{''})
This will, however, not work if you are using GUIDE, as GUIDE uses the Tag property for other things.

set(findobj(0,'style','edit'),'string','') %put this in the button callback
%that should clear all edit uicontrols
or
set(findobj(handles.figure1,'style','edit'),'string','')
%should only clear the edit uicontrols from the current GUI

Grateful to you :)
OK..
What About this code , How do I take advantage of it ?
closeGUI = handles.figure1; %handles.figure1 is the GUI figure
% guiPosition = get(handles.figure1,'Position'); %get the position of the GUI
% guiName = get(handles.figure1,'Name'); %get the name of the GUI
% eval(guiName) %call the GUI again
%
% close(closeGUI); %close the old GUI
% set(gcf,'Position',guiPosition); %set the position for the new GUI
