Factory Reset Steps

If you’ve forgotten your login password or need to restore default settings:

  1. Locate the small reset button on your Huawei router (usually on the back panel).
  2. With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds using a paperclip.
  3. Release the button and wait for the router to restart completely (2-3 minutes).
  4. All settings will return to factory defaults, including the original IP address and login password.
  5. Use the default username and password printed on your router’s label to log in.
  6. Reconfigure your WiFi network name and password as needed.

Note that factory reset will erase all custom configurations including WiFi passwords, port forwarding rules, and parental controls.
