The reset button at the front panel of the M4100-26G switch just reboots the switch.
Since you wanted to reset the M4100-26G switch to factory default settings, kindly access the article below:
M4100: Boot Menu - read the section about Accessing the Boot Menu on M4100 and Factory Default the Switch
Another option: If ever you are still able to access the web-GUI of the M4100-26G switch, go to Maintenance > Reset > Factory Default then select the check box and click the APPLY button. As reference, read pages 407-408 of the M4100 user manual here on how to Reset the Switch to Factory Default Settings using the web-GUI.
