21.5 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 the back 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.
