2.8 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-
default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously; the
password will be reset to “1234” and the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1.
To obtain the default configuration file, download it from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a
folder.
2.8.1 Methods of Restoring Factory-Defaults
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three ways:
1. Transfer the configuration file to your Prestige using the SMT menus. See later in this User’s Guide for
more information on this.
2. Use
the
Restore Factory Defaults/Reboot button on the rear panel of the Prestige to upload the
default configuration file (hold this button in for more than 3 seconds). Use this method for cases when
the password or IP address of the Prestige is not known.
3. Use the web configurator to restore defaults (see the web configurator HTML help)
