The only outcome it would seem is to tap the reboot button. The device then reboots and goes straight into the firmware restore procedure. I was stuck in an hilarious loop during the device setup: downloading the latest firmware would always fail. I then tried the WiFi-less option and the only thing that didn't fail was the initial attempt at downloading the latest firmware (the sign-in part would always be interrupted with a network error! By typing very fast I managed to submit the sign-in form but it led me to an access forbidden page!). I had to force-kill Kobo Desktop. After I ejected the user partition, the device rebooted and installed the latest firmware and then the WiFi based setup worked…
A repeated reboot without Nickel successfully loading is one way of triggering a factory reset on a Kobo. See the Kobo Touch 2.0 factory reset for Kobo's description.
