2.6.1 Resetting the Prestige

If you have forgotten your password or cannot access the SMT menus you will need to reinstall the configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The password will be reset to the default of “1234”.

Turn off the Prestige and begin a terminal emulation software session with the default console port settings. Turn on the Prestige again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to enter debug mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site. Refer to the Firmware and Configuration Maintenance chapter for more information on how to transfer the configuration file to your Prestige.
