To reset the password and network parameters, use the following procedure: while the device is POWERED, press and hold the START/STOP/RESET button for 20 seconds. The procedure is complete when the LEDs turn green.

To reset the IOTA to factory settings, use the following procedure: while the device is UNPOWERED, press and hold the START/STOP/RESET button, connect the power cable, and keep holding the button until the LEDs turn orange (~20 seconds). Release the button, and wait until the LEDs turn green (~5 minutes).

Note: Resetting the IOTA to factory settings will remove all data stored on the device. The software version will return to the one installed during production, and thus may need to be updated.

IOTA 10 CORE

The Management 1 port's network settings can be modified via the IOTA GUI (see Network configuration) or by using the unit's USB ports (see Network configuration via USB).

To reset the device to factory settings, create a file called iota_factory_reset_unit_<pretty_mac> where <pretty_mac> is the Management 1 MAC address in lowercase, without colon separators (:), e.g. ffffffffffff for MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Place this file at the root of a USB drive, connect the USB drive to one of the unit's USB ports, and power on or restart the unit. When this file is detected at startup of the device, the factory reset will be triggered. The Capture LED will blink 3 times to confirm that the factory reset process was triggered successfully.

Factory reset can also be initiated via the Factory Reset button on the IOTA GUI's IOTA Settings > Administration page.

Note: Resetting the IOTA to factory settings will remove all data stored on the device. The software version will return to the one installed during production, and thus may need to be updated.
