View source for Howto Hardware Factory Reset

This Howto describes how to do a factory reset on a berofix device. This could be useful in case of a lost password or in any case where you lost the connection to the berofix device. This Feature works only with Firmware Version > 1.12 and FPGA image Version >= 3. The Hardware Factory Reset deletes all data on the berofix device incl. the firmware and restores the default values.
