51.1 Resetting the ZyWALL

If you cannot access the ZyWALL by any method, try restarting it by turning the power off and then on again. If you still cannot access the ZyWALL by any method or you forget the administrator password(s), you can reset the ZyWALL to its factory-default settings. Any configuration files or shell scripts that you saved on the ZyWALL should still be available afterwards.

Use the following procedure to reset the ZyWALL to its factory-default settings. This overwrites the settings in the startup-config.conf file with the settings in the system-default.conf file.

Note: This procedure removes the current configuration.

If you want to reboot the device without changing the current configuration, see Chapter 49 on page 755.
