Allow out-of-band reset to defaults #53

If someone is locked out of the admin UI, there’s no way to get back in.

We need to allow triggering of a reset-to-defaults action if a particular file is present on the USB stick. The file should be automatically removed after the reset-to-defaults action. For ease of implementation, and to avoid having a periodic task, this action should only happen at boot time. i.e. one workflow would be:

  1. yank power
  2. unplug USB stick and create magic file (say, _reset.txt in the root of the USB stick),
  3. re-insert USB stick
  4. re-attach power

Good idea we will consider implementation.
