Reset to delivery status (Reset)
Your device contains private data, which could harm, once they get public. These
data may be plug recognition supplied by your provider and your personal password.
With these data strangers can surf the internet, check E-mails and carry out other
security sensitive processes at your expenses. That is why you have to carry out a
reset before you give your device for example for reparation or maintenance to third
parties.
The reset to delivery status is also necessary, if you have forgotten your personal
password and you have no more access to the configuration program. In this case
you have to completely reconfigure your device as follows:
1. Your Speedport has to be connected to the power source.
2. Use a thin pointed object to press for at least five seconds into the opening on the
backside of your Speedport labeled with
Reset
.
3. Wait 180 seconds, before disconnecting your Speedport from the power source.
Now all data are erased and replaced by the delivery status data. Now you can
unhesitatingly hand over your Speedport to someone else.
If you want to check, whether all data are erased, try out if the password has been
reset to default settings (Device password on the type label on the backside of your
Speedport). If the password has been reset, all other data have been erased as well.
Notice:
Please note that after a reset to the delivery status the WLAN name (SSID)
and the WLAN key are reset to the default settings. These are the data, which are
entered on the type label on the backside of your Speedport or in the included
WLAN device passport. If you give your Speedport to others, this information is
accessible as well for other.
