Zyxel USG40 - Need to reset password
I need to reset the password on our Zyxel usg40 b/c it was changed from the default & we do not have access to it any longer. The Manual says that the only way to do this is to reset it to its Factory default settings, but config files "that were saved" should still be available. Before I do this and shoot myself in the foot, is there a way to confirm that the config file is saved on the device, or better yet copy the current config from the device.

Hi Jesse I can confirm that the .conf files are saved over a RESET.
We actually did this on our bench test USG40 on the past weekend because it became slow and locked up the LOCAL DNS frequently.
Once you reset it , use the standard admin / 1234 at RFc 1918/3 one HTTPS or ssh
Here, all these files where still on this USG40 after we reset it :
Router(config)# dir /conf/ File Name Size Modified Time =============================================================================== lastgood.conf 109342 2020-03-12 14:51:04 startup-config.conf 109035 2020-03-12 15:42:58 system-default.conf 71587 2020-03-12 14:48:25 usg40_2020-03-12.conf 109348 2020-03-12 15:13:15 autobackup-4.33.conf 104377 2019-10-26 13:24:03 msf_usg40_2019-dec-03.conf 105775 2019-12-03 13:50:56 usg40_2019-dec-07.conf 105379 2019-12-07 19:11:10 usg40_2019-dec-17.conf 106076 2019-12-17 20:02:47 autobackup-4.35.conf 108963 2020-03-10 13:14:19 435AALA2-2020-03-08-11-52-09.conf 108963 2020-03-08 11:52:09 usg40_2020-03-10.conf 108963 2020-03-10 15:26:08 Router(config)#
Use one of the previous .conf 's to restore to your production settings.
So go for i mate.?
