This is the procedure I use. The reset button is the upper of the two buttons on the side, the one more recessed.

The reset is a two step process:
Power on the device. After a few seconds, when the green circle LED changes from orange to blue, hold the reset button for 5 seconds. This 'short-press' initiates the reset.

Then, after the drive has mounted, the system recognises the reset has been initiated and asks you to confirm the reset. In 22.01 this is indicated by all three LEDs turning red. Hold the reset button until all three LEDs start flashing, ~13s.

The system then resets the config and reboots.
