Hello,

Do you need to restore a Barracuda Spam Firewall to the factory default settings?

The following steps can used on a Barracuda Spam Firewall 600:

  • Reboot the Barracuda Spam Firewall
  • Wait for the Barracuda logo screen
  • When the Barracuda logo appears quickly tap the up and down arrows on the keyboard
  • Select Recovery
  • Select the second option to Perform Full System Re-image
  • Confirm that you want to restore the Barracuda to it's factory default settings
  • The re-image process takes about 10 minutes to complete
  • When the re-image is complete select Exit recovery mode and reboot
After the Barracuda reboots you can login with the system defaults and configure the network settings:

username: admin
password: admin
