How To Reset a Timer in Java GUI and Display Message after Stop

Question

Hello Good day i want to create a "Reset Button" where my Timer will reset. I created a new button and named it as "reset" and i use the code "tm2.restart();" but its not working in my created New Button. This is my code:

import javax.swing.Timer;
public class deploy extends JFrame {

 private int seconds;
 private SimpleDateFormat df;
 private boolean isRunning;
 private JLabel lblTimer1;
 private JButton btnStart1;

public deploy() {

lblTimer1 = new JLabel("New label");
lblTimer1.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
lblTimer1.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 20));
lblTimer1.setBounds(100, 231, 94, 16);
contentPane.add(lblTimer1);

 Timer tm2 = new Timer(1000, new ActionListener() {

           @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                setTimer();
                seconds++;
            }
        });

btnStart1 = new JButton("Start");
btnStart1.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
btnStart1.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
btnStart1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
     @Override
           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

                if(isRunning) {
                    tm2.stop();
                    btnStart1.setText("Start");
                }else {
                    tm2.start();
                    btnStart1.setText("Stop");
                }

                isRunning = !isRunning;
            }
        });

My kind of timer is formatted as "SimpleDateFormat" (00:00:00) because i'm creating a "cybercafe management application" that the customer will walk in and records his/her time until he/she logged out and display a message the amount he/she will be payed off. please help. thanks
