Hard reset

A term used to describe the process of either pressing the reset button on a computer or peripheral, or pressing and holding the reset button for a few seconds. This is called a hard reset because the user is physically pressing the button instead of resetting the computer or peripheral through software.

This term should not be confused with a cold boot also known as a hard boot.
