Unfortunately, you can't reset an Xbox 360 without turning it on. You'll need to power it up to access the system settings.

You can reset your Xbox 360 without turning it on by removing the hard drive and reformatting it using a computer, but it’s a bit tricky! Make sure to back up any important data first!

Sorry! No way to reset it without turning it on. Guess you'll have to dig out that power button!

I had to reset mine once too, and yep, gotta turn it on first! Once it's on, go to System Settings > Console Settings > System Info.
