Restore Factory-Default Settings - Watchguard Firebox T85-PoE 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 Firebox.
3. Power on the Firebox while you continue to hold the Reset button.
4. Continue to hold the Reset button until the Attn indicator on the front of the Firebox begins to flash.
5. Release the Reset button.
6. Wait until the Attn indicator stays lit and does not flash.
7. Power off the Firebox.
8. Power on the Firebox.
The Firebox restarts with factory-default settings.
