I'd be amazed if you could just press a button and set it to factory image…
-
The Alix and APU, if they came from netgate or the pfSense store, have custom images that include code to read the reset button. You can indeed 'factory' reset it using just the button. I guess it has to be booting sufficiently far to load the reset button driver though.
Yes you need a USB to serial adapter and a null modem, either a cable or an adapter style. It must be wired as a null modem though a straight gender changer won't work.
