If you have already booted up the firewall and selected the wrong mode, you must perform a factory reset or private-data-reset before
continuing.
For information on how to reset the firewall to its factory default settings, see the PAN-OS Administrator’s Guide.
To use the private-data-reset command, you must access the firewall CLI and enter the command request system private-data-reset. This
command will remove all logs and restore the default configuration.
