If you hold the button longer, until the green light stops blinking, this will wipe the existing configuration and be a true reset. This is what you probably want if you are decommissioning the system or selling it to a 3rd party.

Be aware that the reset button is small and square piece of plastic recessed in a round hole, so you have to be delicate and intentional and make sure you press it without your small pointy thing slipping off to early, in which case the reset won't work. Fortunately, this system boots up within less than 15 seconds so it is easy to try again.
