It should reset  when the button is pushed. Although it may not.

On a Raq4, I think you boot with the serial console attached, you hit the 
space bar to enter the ROM setup.  Then use the following commands:

boot
set_params single
bfd

and you will get single user mode

Then issue the command
passwd admin
You will be prompted for the new password twice

Then issue the command
passwd root
You will be prompted for the new password twice

Then issue the command
shutdown -r now   [this will do reboot]
