Lose your password? This section shows how to reset the Netopia Gateway so that you can access the configuration screens once again.
☛NOTE: Keep in mind that all of your settings will need to be reconfigured.
If you don't have a password, the only way to access the Netopia Gateway is the following:
1.Referring to the following diagram, find the round Reset Switch opening.
Rear View
Factory Reset Switch: Push to clear all settings
2.Carefully insert the point of a pen or an unwound paperclip into the opening.
3.Hold the button in until the “Power” LED turns RED and then hold it in until it turns GREEN again.
If you don't hold it this long, the normal configuration will be cleared, but not all the con- figuration info (default settings, etc.) – in some cases you may NOT want to clear all the default settings, as well. This entire process takes approximately 10 seconds: approxi- mately five seconds for the Gateway to reboot and the LED to turn RED; then approxi- mately three seconds for it to turn GREEN again.
4.This will reset the unit to factory defaults and you will now be able to reprogram the Netopia Gateway.
