Use the following procedure to restore system settings to the values set at the factory. This procedure does not change the firmware version or the antivirus or attack definitions.

Caution: This procedure deletes all changes that you have made to the FortiGate configuration and reverts the system to its original configuration, including resetting interface addresses.

To restore system settings to factory defaults

Go to System > Status.

Select Restore Factory Defaults.

Select OK to confirm.

The FortiGate unit restarts with the configuration that it had when it was first powered on.

Reconnect to the web-based manager and review the system configuration to confirm that it has been reset to the default settings.

For information about restoring system settings, see “Restoring system settings” on page 64.
