The FortiController-5913C unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiController-5913C web-based
manager or CLI to configure the FortiController-5913C board. To configure the
FortiController-5913C board you add an administrator password, change the
management interface IP address, and, if required, configure the default route for the
management interface.

At any time during the configuration process, if you run into problems, you can reset the
FortiController-5913C board or the workers to factory default settings and start over.
