Why each option

The correct procedure to reset a Cisco VCS control appliance to factory defaults is to log into the CLI console as root and run the factory-reset command.

APush down and hold the reset button on the back of the VCS appliance for 10 seconds and

The Cisco VCS appliance does not support a 10-second physical reset button procedure for returning to factory defaults - no such hardware button mechanism is documented.

BLog onto the CLI console as root and initiate the defaults-reset command.

The command 'defaults-reset' is not a valid Cisco VCS CLI command - the correct command is 'factory-reset', and using a nonexistent command would return an error.

CLog into the GUI interface as administrator, choose System Settings, select Restore, select

The Cisco VCS GUI does not provide a Restore option under System Settings that performs a full factory reset to initial default configuration.

DLog onto the CLI console as root and initiate the factory-reset command.Correct

The 'factory-reset' command executed from the CLI as the root user is the documented method for restoring a Cisco VCS (Video Communication Server) control appliance to its initial default configuration. This command wipes all user configuration and returns the system to its out-of-box state, and root-level CLI access is required because of the destructive and system-wide nature of the operation.
