        Hi,

        These devices have no keyboard / screen so use the console access.
        The console access is not some sort of option.
        See the manual https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum.

          The reset button reboots the device rather than reload a vanilla config.
          Use the USB console for access to the device's console and perform operations like "reset to factory defaults" from there.

          BTW: where can someone "just get two sg-1100" kind of accidentally? Mind putting me on that list as well, please? 🎅

            What rules could you have been doing.. The antilock rule is there to prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot for that very reason.

            I would highly suggest you read the manual linked to before randomly clicking shit ;)

              Correct - it's only an espresso.bin on steroids 😜 (and missing the WiFi).

                Yes, if you need to reset it to factory defaults and cannot access the GUI (or SSH) then use the serial console.
                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/connect-to-console.html

                Once connected there you will see the console menu which has an option to reset to default settings.

                  Use option 4 ;)

                      I would like to know to even after resetting the SG-1100, the config or residue files of PfBlockerNG remains in the system and not getting fully deleted. I want the factory reset to give a clean reset.

                          @stephenw10 Do you need to purchase support in order to access the factory installer image?
