Resetting the Prestige

If you have forgotten your password or for some reason cannot access the SMT menu you will need to
reinstall the configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with
the default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the
console port will be reset to the default of 9600 bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The
password will be reset to the default of 1234, also.
Turn off the Prestige and begin a Telnet session or use a teminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal
with the default console port settings. Turn on the Prestige again. You should see the following screen. When
you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to enter debug
mode. You should already have downloaded the "romfile.zip" file from the Internet and unzipped it.
