2.6.1 Resetting the Prestige
If you have forgotten your password or cannot access the SMT menus 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”.
Turn off the Prestige and begin a terminal emulation software session with the default 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. Refer to the
Firmware and Configuration Maintenance
chapter for more
information on how to transfer the configuration file to your Prestige.
