This Howto describes how to do a factory reset on a beroNet device. This could be useful in case of a lost password or in any case where you lost the connection to the beroNet device. This Feature feature works only with Firmware Version firmware version > 1.12 and FPGA image Version version >= 3. The Hardware Factory Reset deletes all data on the beroNet device incl. the firmware and restores the default values. There are 8 steps howto how to initiate the Hardware Factory Reset.
