Context:
Eine Ausführungsfunktion sollte erforderlich sein, um eine fälschliche Auslösung der Reset–Funktion zu vermeiden.
Draft translation:
An an execute/confirmation prompt function should be required to prevent the reset function being activated by mistake.
This obviuosly isn't "executive function" (http://www.dict.cc/?s=Ausführungsfunktion ) and IMHO "confirmation prompt" seems to be what is actually mean.

confirmation prompt
I agree with you that this is a method of ensuring that the user really wants to carry out a reset, and this is done with a dialog box that asks them to confirm. I think your suggestion of confirmation prompt is right on the money.

Yes, I did read your explanation. As you proposed in your draft translation, it is not execution function but execute function. So, you proposed it right and you deserve 4 points. But that's my low opinion.
