GS308EP Won't Factory Reset

So I have been using a GS308EP for my network for a while. I set it and forgot it and didn't leave a management port open. I'm changing my network now, so I tried holding the 'reset' button for +10 seconds and all it did was restart.

It's clear that the reset button works, but it seems that the factory reset does not. Does anyone know how to fix this?
