Restore the Default Configuration and Password
To reset the VPN firewall to the original factory default settings, you can use one of the
following two methods:
• Pre
ss the factory default Reset
button on the rear panel of the VPN firewall and hold the
button for about eight seconds until the Test LED turns on and begins to blink (about 30
seconds).

see Rear Panel on page 16. To
restore the factory default settings when you do not know the administration
