The Software Reset 2 button (TP12) reset hole, which resets both boot loader settings and RouterOS setting by 
default, can be disabled in this menu (it will still reset the boot loader settings). 
Software Reset 
It is possible to reset all software configuration by using the Software Reset 2 button hole (C229, see 
schematic) during the power-up. No confirmation or passwords will be asked, so use with caution. This feature 
can be disabled in the “system routerboard settings” menu by switching the “enable-jumper-reset” 
parameter to “no”. Simply use a metal object to short circuit the metallic reset hole (TP12) while booting.
