How to Factory Resta Juniper Firewall SRX

There are a couple of ways of factoring reset a Juniper firewall.


a) Having physical access to the firewall itself and you will find a button at front of the firewall.

All you need to do is find a paper clip and press the paper clip through the small hole and hold it for about 30 seconds.

b) If you have access to the the command line and can go to edit mode, do as follows:

•                  root@firewall> edit
•          root@firewall# load factory-default

Set root password:

root@firewall# set system root-authentication plain-text-password

root@firewall# commit

I am writing about this, because I had a firewall I started setting up few months ago and I had to reset it factory.
