Cisco 2960-X Hangs during reset

Purchased used from a government auction. I'm attempting to reset it to factory defaults.

When I get to the prompt of:

Would you like to reset the system back to the default configuration (y/n)?Y

The system just hangs. I let it run for about 3 hours before I rebooted it. I've tried twice now. Am I doing something wrong?

1.Hold Mode button while plugging it in.
2.Hold Mode button until the boot hangs (at USB Console INIT)

  1. Let mode button go, and the above message (with a disclaimer about password-recovery mechanism is disabled.)

Am I doing something wrong here?
