make a change in the configuration), you can reset the configuration to its
factory default settings and start over. To reset the configuration, follow these

2. Type in: defconf and press <Enter>.
3. Type in: reboot and press <Enter>.
Example:
BladeManager login: root

system's factory default configuration. This action is irreversible!
