Can't access GUI after factory reset

[rgosso]

I did a factory reset by pushing the button with a paper clip, and now I cannot access the GUI through my browser. I am connected via a cable from my laptop directly into the LAN port and I have tried DHCP and also manually setting my NIC to 192.168.1.x. Still no luck after several reboots. I'm using a 1100 fw.

Thanks for any assistance!

Remember the console cable you got when you bought the 1100 ?
Now it definitely time to use it.
See the pfSense "1100" documentation about how to activate it on your PC/MAC/whatever.

It's this console access that shows all the details you (and we ^^) need to know.

The reset button on the 1100 only resets the power. It doesn't reset the config. So it will still be running whatever it was last configured as.
