NimbostratusHow to Reset the BIG IP F5 2000s LB and what about the previous installed licenses??
We are deploying BIG IP 2000S Load Balancer and it was previously configured and now shipped to our client for deployment. We didn't know the GUI/CLI username & password ,, soo can anyone guide us we want F5 LBs to reset and how can we accomplish this task of reset the BIG IP F5 2000s LB.
Does resetting also removed the previously installed licenses on F5 LB??
Looking for an urgent response.

When you restore the BIG-IP configuration to factory default settings, the system performs the following tasks:
- Removes all BIG-IP local traffic configuration objects
- Removes all BIG-IP network configuration objects
- Removes all non-system maintenance user accounts
- Retains the management IP address
- Removes system maintenance user account passwords (root and admin)
- Retains the BIG-IP license file
- Retains files in the /shared partition
- Retains manually-modified bigdb database variables
