2.6.1 Resetting the Prestige
If you have forgotten your password or for some reason cannot access the SMT menu you will need to
reinstall the configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with
the default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the
console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The
password will be reset to the default of 1234, also.
Turn off the Prestige and begin a Terminal session with the current console port settings. Turn on the Prestige
again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to
enter debug mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site.
See Chapter 9
for more information on how to transfer the configuration file to your Prestige.
