10. Troubleshooting & FAQ¶
10.1 I forgot the admin password¶
If you still have console access with a working account, use the console menu's Change Password option, which updates both console and Web UI passwords together. If locked out entirely, physical console access is required — there's no remote "forgot password" flow, by design.
10.2 I can't reach the Web UI or console¶
- Confirm your device is on the LAN side and has received an IP address.
- Confirm the correct address is being used (shown on the console during first boot, and on the Network page's LAN1 entry).
- If a recent firewall change might be responsible, physical console access lets you review and correct rules directly.
10.3 How do I reset to factory defaults?¶
Factory Reset is available from the console menu (Administrator role required) and wipes all configuration back to installer defaults.
Warning
Factory Reset cannot be undone. Download a backup first if you might want one later (Section 9.1).
10.4 A service shows as stopped¶
Most services can be restarted directly from their own page or System > Services. If the cause is a configuration error, the relevant page usually surfaces the specific error when you try to save or restart.
