1. Press the Settings button on your IP Phone.
2. Use the Navigation pad to scroll down and select Device Configuration.
3. Scroll down and select Factory Reset.

5. Once you have entered the password, select Yes to confirm the factory reset.
6. The phone will now initiate the factory reset process. This may take a few minutes.

It's important to note that performing a factory reset will erase all personalized settings and configurations on the phone. This includes network settings, line appearances, speed dials, and any other customized settings. Therefore, it is recommended to back up any important data before proceeding with the reset.
Additionally, if your phone is connected to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) or other call control system, it will automatically re-register with the system after the reset. However, if you are using the phone standalone or with a different call control system, you may need to reconfigure the network settings and other parameters manually.
Always ensure that you have the necessary permissions and knowledge before performing a factory reset on any device. If you are unsure or have any concerns, it is recommended to consult with your IT department or Cisco support for assistance.
