 Factory resetting a Fortigate 30D

Pretty easy to do but can get confusing with these models since they have no console port and the fortiexplorer software doesn't seem to work anymore or not available.  Anyways follow these steps and your FortiGate 30D will reset to factory:

1.    Remove the power
2.    Reinstate power
3.    When the status light starts blinking press the reset button for 5 secs
4.    The status light should start blinking faster, which means its resetting
5.    Wait till the system has rebooted (solid status light)

The FortiGate should be up and running with DHCP enabled and an IP address of 192.168.1.99

Always forget how to do this process so I'll note it here......geez its been awhile since i posted something......meh.
