Using the web UI

The Factory Default Settings operation from the web UI clears all current settings, resets the password for the administrative/root user, and restores the settings to the factory defaults.

The password will be reset to the factory default during the reboot. Some models have the default password printed on the device label. If this password is on the label, the password is reset to this default. If a password is not printed on the label, you will need to manually reset the password. See Security settings.

1. Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation.
2. From the Main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings. The Factory Default settings page is displayed.
3. (Optional) Check the Keep network settings checkbox to keep the current network settings such as the IP address and host key settings. In addition, any files that were loaded into the device through the File Management page such as custom-interface files and applet files are retained.
4. Click Restore.
