Detailed description

Risk assessment
The loss of device logs upon utilizing the reset button may disrupt operational records and slow down subsequent troubleshooting efforts.
Failure to set up the SIM PIN post-reset via the reset button may result in SIM card lockout due to repeated incorrect PIN entries, causing service disruption and requiring either SIM replacement or PIN reset.
The device is still visible in RMS post-reset but cannot be accessed. Therefore, re-adding the device to RMS is necessary for continued access.
