Resetting the Device to Factory Defaults
If you lose the admin password, you can reset the device to its default settings. This
action destroys any existing configurations but restores access to the device.
You can restore the device to its default settings in one of the following ways:
Using a Console connection. For further information, refer to the Concepts &
Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
Using the reset pinhole on the back panel of the device, as described in the next
section.
You can reset the device and restore the factory default settings by pressing the
reset pinhole. To perform this operation, you need to either view the device status
LEDs on the front panel or start a Console session as described in “Using a Console
Connection” on page 28.
To use the reset pinhole to reset and restore the default settings, perform the
following steps:
1. Locate the reset pinhole on the front panel.
2. Using a thin, firm wire (such as a paperclip), push the pinhole for four to six
seconds and then release.
The STATUS LED blinks red. A message on the console states that erasure of the
configuration has started and the device sends an SNMP/SYSLOG alert.
3. Wait for one to two seconds.
After the first reset, the STATUS LED blinks green; the device is now waiting for
the second reset. The Console message now states that the device is waiting for
a second confirmation.
4. Push the reset pinhole again for four to six seconds.
The Console message verifies the second reset. The STATUS LED glows red for
one-half second and then returns to the blinking green state.
The device then resets to its original factory settings. When the device resets,
the STATUS LED glows red for one-half second and then glows green. The
console displays device-startup messages. The device generates SNMP and
SYSLOG alerts to configured SYSLOG or SNMP trap hosts.
WARNING: Resetting the device deletes all existing configuration settings and
disables all existing firewall and VPN services.
