Default How to remove fasteners on panels?

Need some help! How do you remove the fasteners that are used to hold panels in place? See the photo to see what I'm talking about. I thought maybe they were just press fitted but I can't seem to budge them.

    I use a small flathead screwdriver to pry them off. You can do it, just be careful! Once you get them off the first time, you shouldn't have trouble with them after that.

    Any panels I've removed that look like that... the "button" is actually a screw. Unthread it, then there should be a phillips screw hidden below where the button normally is. The button actually screws into the wood right next to the phillips screw just to hide it.

    Mine are just snaps, with a Phillips screw underneath.
