2.5 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or cannot access the Prestige, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button the back of the Prestige. 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. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.
2.5.1 Using The Reset Button
Make sure the PWR LED is on (not blinking) when you begin this procedure. the defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2. Turn the Prestige off.
Continue to hold the RESET button. The PWR LED will begin to blink and flicker very quickly after about
10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the Prestige is now restarting.
