Configuration and Management Basics
Before You Begin
Do not edit your configuration file manually. Always use a WatchGuard Management Server or the
Firebox X Edge web interface to make changes to your configuration.
User passwords in the backup configuration file are encrypted, but the full file is not encrypted. We
recommend that you encrypt your backup configuration file and keep it in a safe location.
When you restore your previous configuration from a backup configuration file, the administrator user
name and password used when the backup file was created are used again. If you do not remember
the password set in your backup file, you must restore the factory-default settings and set up the Edge
manually.
