Rebooting and Resetting the Device
Use the Reboot/Reset page to reboot the security appliance or restore the
security appliance to the factory default settings (if necessary) from the
Configuration Utility. Refer to the following topics:

Restoring the Factory Default Settings
To restore the security appliance to the factory default settings, you can press and
hold the RESET button on the back panel for more than 3 seconds, or perform the
Reset to Factory Defaults operation from the Configuration Utility.

the security appliance (including the imported certificates). We recommend that
you back up your current settings before restoring the factory default settings.

A warning message appears saying “Preparing to restore the factory default
