).

Note: 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 web configurator, you will need to reload the
factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on 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.
