To perform a hard reset on a Dell computer, follow these steps.
Turn off the computer.
Disconnect the power cable (for desktops), or disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery (for Dell laptops with removable battery).
NOTE: For Dell laptops that have a nonremovable battery, learn How to Reset Real Time Clock (RTC) to Recover Your Dell Laptop.
For Dell laptops with removable batteries, see the user guide of your Dell laptop for step-by-step instructions to safely remove the battery.
NOTE: On select Dell Latitude laptops, learn How to Use Forced ePSA to Recover from POST or Boot Failure.

Connect the power cable (for desktops) or AC adapter and battery (for laptops).
Turn on the computer.
This may help you,

Hello hobbit666,
reload will reboot the switch. If you do not have a startup-config then it will load default.
If you do have a startup-config then the reload will load those settings, so make a copy of your running-config first:
Use these commands:
#copy running-config startup-config
Confirm to save
#reload
