How to disable Reset button on APs ?

Please advise if its possible to disable the reset button option mainly of H510 AP and dhow

We want this for extra security and to avoid guests reseting APs

I have searched the forum - and found nothing specific - hope I didnt miss somehting.

There is no software command to disable the hardware reset button,
but a small piece of white tape could hide it's existence...

If adoption methods like DHCP, DNS, mDNS in place, a reset AP will be able to go back to controller and propagate same SSIDs. Disabling reset button may not be necessary.

I partly agree on that part although there still will be downtime and such techniques are not always possible to apply.

For Hospitals, banks, goverment or other organisations that require extra security - can that be implemented?
