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.

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. In the Settings Pane, select > SYSTEM > Backup, Restore and Reset.
   The BACKUP, RESTORE AND RESET page displays with the CONFIGURATION tab selected.

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.
