There's a few ways I see this going:

1. Janet and Hades fight endlessly until Janet becomes omnipotent
2. Janet and Hades fight endlessly until Janet is marbleized simply by coincidence
OR this isn't a fight at all because
1. Janet's omniscience allows her to just know exactly what it needed to defeat Hades, which she then summons and uses to defeat him instantly.
2. Hades simply asks Janet how to defeat her. Yeah, Janet CAN lie but she almost always tells the truth and is usually compulsively helpful unless she has specific reason not to. It's an unlikely strategy but it COULD work.

How long is it between her button being pushed and her reboot? IIRC the only time we see it in the actual show is in the first season: she gets "killed," then there's enough time for Michael to gather everyone and hold a funeral, then she comes back to "life." That's an unspecified amount of time, maybe 15 minutes at least? If she's incapacitated for a significant amount of time, I'd be inclined to call that a win.

Also, when Janet comes back the first time she has to re-learn everything again, which is a time-consuming process. I don't remember if she has to do that after each subsequent reboot or not.

From what I know about Hades, he likes to talk a lot (like basically everyone in Kid Icarus Uprising), so the "strategy" of accidentally getting Janet to reveal her weakness is likelier than it seems. Janet's primary function is a helper, and she's always forthcoming with information.
