# Restoring Node to Factory Defaults

### Scope

This document explains the process for restoring factory defaults on a legacy Livewire Node.

> [!WARNING]
> If a Telos Alliance xNode needs to be reset to factory defaults, click [here](/v1/docs/how-to-factory-reset-from-the-front-panel) for that process.

### The Process

To reset a Livewire node, simply follow these steps:

1. Remove power from the unit
2. Press and hold both the **Select** and **ID** buttons on the front panel
3. Apply power to the unit while continuing to hold the two front panel buttons
4. After eight seconds, "RESET 3s" will be displayed and begin to countdown
