Reset Factory MyCloudHome. Why is this procedure taking so long?

I just figure it out, WD’s documentation is very confusing.
If the box still blink after 1 minute, the reset has failed, you need to do it agin.

  1. press rest button with pin for 60 seconds, but the LED will NOT blink, however, stop pressing the button
  2. After 5-10 seconds the mycloud will turn off by itself and start reboot
  3. After reboot, LED will start blinking for 2-3 minutes, then it will reboot again
  4. Voila, now mycloud is factory reset
