The instructions for this switch say about the reset button on the front of the switch:
"The reset button, located on the
front panel, manually resets the
device."
Well thanks Dell 🙂 Is a reset the same as the 'reload' command on Cisco, or does this reset in the sense the startup config will be restored to factory defaults? If it is just a reload in the Cisco sense, does anyone know how I restore this switch to factory defaults without the username and password?

I found it in the manual. I need to go into the 'startup menu', I do this by hitting enter during the bootup of the switch when it says 'Hit enter or Escape'. I can then reset that password, or erase the config file on the flash.
