Resetting the Software to Default Settings

WARNING:

provisioned for service.

You’ll need to reset the software to default settings if:

You’ve forgotten the administrator password.

communication with the device).

You have two options to initiate the reset:

Through the software. See “Resetting the Software to Default Settings (Through the Browser
Interface)” on page 107
