2.9Resetting the Prestige

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

Download the "romfile.zip" file from the Internet, unzip it and save it in a folder. Turn off the Prestige and

begin a Telnet session with the default console port settings.
