The definition of "resetting defaults" can have quite a few meanings in a device as complex as the IoTServer (Babel Buster 4). Truly requiring that you reset to factory defaults would require that you upload all of the original largely blank configuration files and then force a reconfigure of the system. But resetting defaults sometimes only means "I lost my IP address, how do I get it back?"

A number of reset options are attached to the hidden reset button. These are discussed on the Hardware Details page.

After clearing out all of the existing databases, then click Reboot Device to force a reboot, at which time it will reload the databases from the XML files provided.
