Resetting the ZyWALL
If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file or use the RESET button 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.

Procedure To Use The Reset Button
Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.
Step 1.
Press the RESET button for ten seconds, and then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the
defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
Step 2.
Turn the ZyWALL off.
Step 3.
While pressing the RESET button, turn the ZyWALL on.
Step 4.
Continue to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink and flicker very quickly
after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL
is now restarting.
Step 5.
Release the RESET button and wait for the ZyWALL to finish restarting.
