Restore Factory Default Settings - Watchguard Firebox T30 Hardware Manual

Restore Factory Default Settings

If you have a problem in your configuration file that you cannot correct, you can restore the factory default
settings and start from a new configuration file. For example, if you do not know the administrator account
passphrase, or if a power interruption causes damage to the Fireware OS, you can restore the Firebox to the
factory default settings and build your configuration again.
To reset the Firebox to factory default settings:
1. Power off the Firebox.
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device.
3. Power on the Firebox while you continue to press the Reset button.
4. Continue to press the button until the Attn indicator stays lit. This shows that the device was
successfully restored to the factory default settings.
This process can take 75 seconds or more.
5. Power off the Firebox.
6. Power on the Firebox again.
The Power Indicator is lit and your Firebox is reset.
