This message is a bit cryptic to me, why do we need to print that you
will be doing a reset?

This seems to be doing a hard reset, which I assume you are doing as
an attempt to recover by retrying to setup, but if it fails we may go
into a loop condition trying to setup so we better limit the number of
attempts.
