Try going into your power settings (usually an icon in taskbar, control panel if not)
in the Advanced settings section of the Power Plan Profiles, you can change what the power button and reset buttons do. Maybe these have ben changed by your OS and you may be able to alter them here to shutdown with power button and restart with rest button
Most think this is only a setting for laptops but is also applicable to desktops

If he swaped the pins around at the mobo then the mobo would not know the difference. If it was windows settings then the power button would have worked right when plugged into the reset button pins.
Remove the power button connector from the mobo header, take a flat screwdriver and carefully short the two pins for a second, if PC comes on then it is the button on the tower that is bad.
