How to reset a fortigate to factory default. These instructions are for the fortigate 60,but should work for most models.

Attach the fortigate by serial cable to your computer and then restart it. When the login screen re-appears type the following:

Login: maintainer
password: bcpbFGT-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the serial number of the fortigate. Ie if the serial was 603902365245 the password would be bcpbFGT-603902365245.

Once logged in, to reset the firewall type

execute factoryreset

Once complete and rebooted the fortigate will be reset to factory defaults. For further instructions use this quick guide:
