PowerConnect 2724 - managed mode button not working

Question

Hi,  so I purchased an used dell PowerConnect 2724. I tought it is working just fine then I did one dum thing nad things got complicated. I set Admin account to a read only mode and it is the only account visible. So now I'm stuck because I can't get it to Unmanaged mode so I could reset it to factory default. I tried this: - read all user manulas and forums and nothing:) - pressed MANAGED MODE button for 3sec and it does not reboot to unmanaged mode - pressed MANAGED MODE button for 90sec nothing - pressed MANAGED MODE button for 90sec unplug the device holding the button - nothing - pressed MANAGED MODE button for 90sec unplug the device holding the button for 90sec plug it back in still holding the button - nothing - opened switch test it with instrument if the button is working and it is OpenManage Copyright  © Dell All Rights Reserved Version 1.00 Build No. 1.04 So now I'm stuck any other options? - and don't copy user manual please because is not working. Thank you!

Hi, It still lets you login as the admin account, you just are not able to change any settings? There isn’t another way to reset to default.

Hu, Yes I can log in to admin but I can't change anything... I'm asking if there is any other way to set it to defaults...because I accidental put it on read only mode
