At NetThreat we regularly receive enquiries from customers who have forgotten the password for their SonicWALL appliance. | |
A SonicWALL is built with security from the ground up meaning there are no backdoors. If you lose or forget your password there is no way to get it back. There is however one way that you can get back into your appliance however it is only possible if you have a backup of your settings stored somewhere. |
Learn how you can track websites visited by an employee using the SonicWALL App Flow Monitor. Boot your appliance into safe mode. This is done by pressing and holding the reset button with a ‘magical resetting tool’ (a.k.a. A paperclip) for about 6 seconds. STEP 2: If you have a static IP address on your computer, make a note of it. Even if you have DHCP at the house, the IP doesn't change as much as you'd think (depending on the ISP). I've had the same public IP address for over a year now with DHCP (the gateway will keep renewing the DHCP lease), and the factor that will trigger that change is if a different MAC address is introduced (new firewall used or new NIC used) and the ISP will lease a new IP for that associated. However, the SonicWALL security appliance can perform SonicWall IPS inspection on any VPN tunnel that terminates directly on the SonicWALL security appliance. SonicWALL IPS can inspect traffic as it goes into the tunnel and/or when the traffic comes out of the tunnel.
Having a backup of your firewall appliance's settings is always a good idea. Although these days we are seeing an increasing number of people using the fairly recently introduced 'Create Backup' feature which takes a snapshot of the appliance including the firmware version along with current settings. We would always advise that best practise is still to take a proper backup of the settings and export them off box and store the file in a safe place. This file will have an .exp file extension.
If you have lost your password and do not have a backup of your settings, the only option you have is to ‘wipe and type’ - reset the appliance to factory defaults and reconfigure from scratch.
