Return a Lighthouse Instance to Factory Settings

At some stage, you may require a return to the factory settings. You can do this either through the UI or by running a shell script if you have root access.

Note:  During this process, the current Lighthouse configuration is overwritten and user files are deleted. If you want, you can create a backup of the configuration and any required user files.

Restore Factory Settings

To return a Lighthouse instance to its factory settings using the Lighthouse UI:

1. Login to the Lighthouse as root.

   Note:  Other users, even those with full administrative privileges, do not have the permissions required to reset the Lighthouse VM to its factory settings.

2. Select > SYSTEM > Backup, Restore and Reset.

3. Select the FACTORY RESET tab.
   

4. Read and understand the warning presented.

5. To proceed, type YES in the confirmation field.

6. Click Reset Lighthouse.
