Why each option
Resetting a Cisco VCS Control appliance to factory defaults requires CLI access as root and the 'factory-reset' command.
The Cisco VCS Control appliance factory reset procedure requires logging into the CLI as the root user and issuing the 'factory-reset' command, which wipes all configuration and returns the system to its original default state. Root-level access is required because the operation affects the underlying OS-level configuration, not just application settings. This is the documented hardware appliance reset method for VCS.
The command 'reset-defaults' does not exist in the Cisco VCS CLI; the correct command name is 'factory-reset'.
The VCS web GUI Backup and Restore section is used only for exporting and importing configuration files, not for initiating a factory reset.
Holding the power button for 10 seconds performs a hard power-off on the VCS appliance, not a factory reset.
The Cisco VCS Control appliance does not have a dedicated physical reset button on the back panel for initiating a factory reset.
