Reset Sonicwall TZ600

Question

Looking to reset a SonicWall TZ600 I won it recently at an IT auction. I plugged into the X0 Lan via my laptop not getting a connection seems like no DHCP. The SonicWall does light up and I see network activity on the machine.

Looked online for documentation to do a hard reset. Couldn't find much for TZ600 just for the lesser models.

I did a place in the back of device to stick a paperclip in which might reset. I hold it for 30 seconds and the wrench icon flashes. But nothing else happens. I have let it sit overnight. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Try to connect via console cable. Also, unplug all cable to it and power it up. The wrench light should not stay on.

Answer 2

There is a little sonicwall soft that can detect on which network is the TZ. To use the reset, each TZ has his way, see the notice.
