Restoring Factory Settings
Overview
You can restore factory settings to the FRITZ!Box.
Application Scenario
Resetting makes sense in the following cases:
• You forgot your password and can no longer access the user
interface of your FRITZ!Box.
• The FRITZ!Box does not work any more (for instance, due to
improper 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
Resetting the FRITZ!Box has the following effects:
• All of the settings you made in the FRITZ!Box will be deleted.
• The internal memory of the FRITZ!Box is deleted. In addition to
contents on FRITZ!NAS, messages received on the answering
machine and faxes will be discarded.
• The network key of the factory settings will be activated again.
• The name of the wireless radio network (SSID) will be reset.
• The IP configuration of the factory settings will be restored.
Preparation
If you would like to restart operation of the FRITZ!Box after restoring
factory settings, make the following preparations:
• Save your FRITZ!Box settings; see Saving Settings, page 158.
