I cannot log into my admin because I got this box of a friend who moved and cannot be tracked. I tried to reset but the power button being held only reboots it no matter how long I press it. Idk what...
While most electronic devices have a "Reset Button" which is inside the case and can be accessed by sticking something through a tiny hole in the case (labeled "Reset"), this product appears to have a different method for reset. (See page 68 of the User Manual)

Notice the comment that Administrators have the ability to enable/disable the reset function. You may have a paperweight.
