Factory Resetting a Cisco Phone
Overview
A common practice when troubleshooting and provisioning IP devices is the factory reset, or a full restoration of the phone to its factory settings.
It is important to understand that while factory resetting a phone is a great backup plan if a device is not working properly, all of the localized settings on the device are lost when you factory reset.
