Fritz!Box 4040 - Restoring Factory Settings

Restoring Factory Settings
Overview
You can restore factory settings to the FRITZ!Box.
Application Example
Resetting makes sense in the following cases:
• You forgot the login information for your FRITZ!Box and can no
longer access the FRITZ!Box user interface.
• The FRITZ!Box no longer works properly (for instance, due to im-
proper settings).
• The FRITZ!Box is to be passed on to an outside party for repair.
• The FRITZ!Box is to be resold to another user.
• The FRITZ!Box is to be disposed of.
Consequences of Resetting
• All of the settings you made in the FRITZ!Box are deleted.
• The internal memory of the FRITZ!Box is deleted. In addition to con-
tents on FRITZ!NAS, messages received on the answering machine
and faxes are discarded.
• The network key from the factory settings will be reactivated.
• The name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) will be reset.
• The IP configuration of the factory settings will be restored.
