Howto reset Astaro Security Gateway
Today we had to reset our astaro security gateway because somebody (better don’t say how, because he is paying my salary;) ) accidentally deactivated the main ethernet interface (the only interface enabled for the webfrontend). So because manually setting-up eth0 over the local console and deactivating all iptable-rules didn’t work, we decided to reset the hole machine. Happily I created minutes bevor a backup and copied it to my workstation.
Howto reset Astaro Security Gateway
1. Be sure you have somewhere your license-file and a backup
2. Login over the local console with the username root or loginuser (and do su)
3. Call the script: /etc/init.d/factoryreset
WARNING: This deletes all your configuration, the license and all backups which aren’t stored somewhere else.
After the reset, you can access the machine on eth0, ip 192.168.0.1, port 4444 (old astaro-versions use the default https port), protocol https.
