This section shows how to reset the router so that you can access the console screens once again, even if you
lose your password. Keep in mind that all of your connection profiles and settings will need to be reconfigured.
If you don't have a password, the only way to get back into the Netopia R5000 Series Router is the following:
1.
Turn the router upside down.
2.
Referring to the diagram below, find the paper clip-size Reset Switch slot.
3.
Carefully inser t the larger end of a standard size paper clip until you contact the internal Reset Switch. (No
need to unwind the paper clip.)
4.
Press this switch.
5.
This will reset the unit to factor y defaults and you will now be able to reprogram the router.

If you suspect that power was restored after a power outage and the Netopia R5000 Series Router is connected
to a remote site, you may need to switch the Netopia R5000 Series Router off and then back on again. After
temporar y power outages, a connection that still seems to be up may actually be disconnected. Rebooting the
router should reestablish the connection.
