Factory reset for NOKIA IP devices

NOKIA offer two ways to take a factory reset on IP devices

In single boot mode ( boot -s on BOOTMGR prompt) :

1. Boot into single user mode
2. Press "return" for shell.
3. nokia[admin]# fsck -y (Ensures filesystems are clean & fixes any problems)
4. nokia[admin]# mount -a (mounts filesystems)
5. nokia[admin]admin# cd /config (At the admin prompt change to the config directory)
6. nokia[admin]# rm active (Remove the file called "active")
7. nokia[admin]# reboot (reboot the appliance)


From standard prompt (Device_Name > prompt) :

1. Establish connection to the firewall through the console connection
2. login as the admin user
3. nokia[admin]# cd /config (At the admin prompt change to the config directory)
4. nokia[admin]# rm active (Remove the file called "active")
5. nokia[admin]# reboot (reboot the appliance)
