See https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... bootloader. You can disable the Winbox service but that will prevent anyone using it, a usual recommendation is to make Winbox accessible only via a VPN connection to or from the device.

So for example i have SXTsq and the reset button is disabled how to enable the reset button and reset the device

Set reformat-hold-button and reformat-hold-button-max. The device cannot be reset, only completely reformatted by holding the reset button for a time between the two values and will then require a netinstall as described in the link provided.
