3.4.1 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-
default configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations; the password will be
reset to "1234" and the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1.
To obtain the default configuration file, download it from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a
folder.
To upload the configuration file, follow the instructions in menu 24.6. For more information, refer to the
Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance chapter.
All custom settings will be lost once you reset to the default settings.
3.4.2 Methods of Restoring Prestige Factory–Defaults
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
1. Upload the default configuration file via Telnet as described above. Refer to Chapter 8 in this
User's Guide for more information on how to transfer a configuration file to your Prestige using
the SMT menus.
