Restoring Factory Default Settings

You can restore the factory default settings to the base station if, for example, you forget your base station password. Restoring the base station erases all your current base station settings and returns the password to the default, admin. After you restore your base station, you will need to reconfigure the base station settings. You can do this by running the Setup Wizard and clicking Set Up a Product.
