IT actually doesn’t matter that to force reset a device you need an actual ‘reset’ button or that you use another button (or buttons) on the device for the same purpose – generally by holding it down for a few seconds. In both cases, pressing the reset button will trigger a firmware feature in the device’s operating system that will automatically erase all content and settings, or one or more options, depending on how sophisticated said device is.
