Reset the Device to Factory-Default Settings

If you ever need to, you can restore your Firebox to its factory-default settings. For example,
if you do not know the administrator account passphrase or you want to start over with
a new configuration, you can reset your device. Make sure you back up your device
configuration before you reset your device in case you want to restore it in the future.
