Reset the S33 configuration settings

the current S33 configuration settings and take approximately five to 30 minutes to complete.
Your network connection will remain disabled until after the S33 configuration settings are
restored.
WARNING! Resetting the S33 configuration settings to the factory defaults also deletes any
custom cable modem configurations, including your login password, and other configuration
settings. You should first back up your S33 configuration files before resetting your S33.
To reset the cable modem configuration back to the factory default settings:
1. Insert the end of a paper clip or other small object with a narrow tip into the Reset
opening on the back of your S33.
2. Press and hold the indented Reset button for 10 seconds or until the front panel LED
flashes.
3. Remove the paper clip or small object from the Reset opening.
