Cisco 2960 RESET

[darren849]

                   I have a cisco 2960 that I seemed to have lost the password. Its just a test switch. I would like to know how to reset it to factory default. I have managed to get to a switch: prompt by holding in the small mode button on the front of the switch and pluging in the power but lost from here.
