Cisco – How to Disable Reset Button on Cisco 2950?

ciscocisco-ios

On the front panel of a Cisco 2950 is a button which can be used to reset the switch to factory defaults, when held down for a few seconds.

Does anyone know of a way to disable this within IOS?

Many thanks!

You can disable this feature using:

no setup express

To quote Cisco:

The primary purpose of the no setup express command is to prevent someone from deleting the switch configuration by pressing the Mode button for 10 seconds.
