Hi,
I would recommend shutting down, as I have not had to use the reset button, so can't say for 100%.

The OS should not be impacted by the MP reset.

You can always try it on your test system first.

Hope this provides the answer you seek.

Wa-Alaikum Assalam,
Dear Iqbal,
You can reset Mp password by hitting the reset button on the back panel of the MP. After the MP reboots, the local console terminal will display a message for five seconds. Responding to this message in time will allow a local user to reset the passwords.

For your second question,MP reset will not impect on your OS.
