existing firewall and VPN service inoperative.
You can restore the device to its default settings in one of the following ways:
•
Using a Console connection. For further information, see the "Administration"
chapter in Volume 3 of the NetScreen Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference
Guide.
•
Using the reset pinhole on the rear panel of the device, as described in the next
