Step 7.

You should now see the MAIN MENU screen (see Figure 2-4).

The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the

Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log back into

the ZyWALL if this happens to you.

2.3 Resetting the ZyWALL

If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file or use the RESET button located on the rear panel of the ZyWALL. 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 and the speed of the console port will be
reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The
password will be reset to “1234”, also.

2.3.1 Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Step 1.

Make sure the PWR LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.

Step 2.

Continue to hold the RESET button. If the PWR LED begins to blink, the defaults have been
restored and the ZyWALL restarts.
