Resetting the ZyWALL

default configuration file or use the RESET button on the back of the ZyWALL. Uploading this
configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file.
This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the speed of the console
port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set
to none. The password will be reset to "1234", also.
