  1. Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
  2. Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
  3. Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

There is no reset button, but if you need to reset it you can by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake (power) button for ~10 seconds. Press and hold them till you see the apple logo appear on the screen. Once you see the logo, release the buttons and let your iPad continue to load. This reset is just a normal reset as if you were resetting your computer and no data will be lost in this process. If you are looking to restore it, then that is an entirely different process and that will remove all data that you have stored on your iPad.
