2.3 Resetting the ZyWALL

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to reload the
factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on the back of the ZyWALL.
Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-
default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had
previously and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data
bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset to 1234,
also.

2.3.1 Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Make sure the PWR LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.
1 Press the RESET button for ten seconds, and then release it. If the PWR LED begins to
blink, the defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2 Turn the ZyWALL off.
3 While pressing the RESET button, turn the ZyWALL on.
4 Continue to hold the RESET button. The PWR LED will begin to blink and flicker very
quickly after about 20 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and
the ZyWALL is now restarting.
5 Release the RESET button and wait for the ZyWALL to finish restarting.

2.3.2 Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port

1 Download the default configuration file from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in
a folder.
2 Turn off the ZyWALL, begin a terminal emulation software session and turn on the
ZyWALL again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within
3 seconds", press any key to enter debug mode.
3 Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.
4 Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.
5 Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on
your terminal. This is an example Xmodem configuration upload using HyperTerminal.
