Disabling port security on N2000 series

In one of the environments I help to manage, the backbone is comprised of N2000-series switch stacks (i.e. N2024 and/or N2048 units).  We have all ports defaulted to include...

switchport port-security
switchport port-security dynamic 0

For a port with a device attached, we would then also have...

switchport port-security mac-address 0123.4567.89AB vlan

...where 0123... is the device's MAC address and is the access VLAN configured for the port.

If we wanted to disable port security, would it just be as simple as "no switchport port-security" at the global config. level?  If not, or if we wanted to clean up the port configurations later, is there a means to leverage "interface range" to remove the individual MAC address associations, or would these only be removable individually?  (The port-level options of "switchport port-security" and "switchport port-security dynamic 0" are easily removed via "interface range" [and a leading "no" for each].)  Finally, would modifying the global port security setting and/or the port-level settings affect connectivity of an attached device (e.g. causing a port reset, for example)?

Thanks
