reset a Cisco 9400 switch to factory default

[pendal8286]

Hello all and thanks for your time and expertise.  I need to reset a Cisco Catalyst 9400 series switch to factory default settings.  Another gentlemen worked on the switch who is no longer around and I don't know the enable password.  Is there away such as a mode button, etc to factory reset this switch.  Your help and expertise are greatly appreciated.

Be aware that password-recovery also means the config will get wiped.
