You would have to use the factory reset button - usually a small - pinhole - button on the back. You usually need something like a paperclip to press it. Press and hold for 15-30 seconds to restore factory settings: WARNING ... as a modem/gateway combined unit it may need some configuration by the ISP. I don't believe it will but. I do not kjnow for sure.
