Summary
This chapter is an overview on various recovery options for a TRB140 device.
Default login information
Using recovery methods resets the device's configuration to its default state. Therefore, you will
need to use the default authentication info in order to login to the device. The default login
information for TRB140 is provided below:
Default Address (LAN IP): 192.168.2.1
Default Username: admin
Default Password: admin01 or random generated password*
Devices with random password
* Certain devices or batches of a device may have a generated password out of the box, instead of
admin01. For TRB140 devices, batch from when unique passwords are used is 59
You can find the batch of your device on the Product Labels sticker.
Factory reset
A factory reset returns the device back to its default factory settings, i.e., it deletes all custom
configurations. Below you will find various methods of performing a factory reset on TRB140.
Additional note: SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after a
factory reset.

Reset Button
The reset button is located on the {{{panel}}} of the device:
The reset button has two functions:
Reboot the device. If the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds, the device will reboot.
Start of the reboot will be indicated by the flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with
the green connection status LED.
Factory reset. If the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds (by default), the device will
perform a factory reset and reboot.
NOTE: the default button hold time value (5 seconds) can be changed in the gateway WebUI,
from the System → Administration → General page.
WebUI
You can also perform a factory reset from the router's WebUI. To do so, login to the router and go to
the Backup section found under the System tab (System → Backup → Restore default settings).
In the very bottom of the page there's a Restore button that performs a factory reset on click:
Command line
You can perform a factory reset via command line by executing the firstboot command. After this
you will be asked to confirm the reset. If you're sure, type the letter y and press "Enter" or type the
letter n if you wish to cancel the reset.
If you agreed to perform a factory reset, next type in reboot and press "Enter". The router will be
reset to it's factory settings and rebooted. The entire sequence of events should look like this:
For firmwares TRB14X_R_00.02.04.1 and newer:
root@Teltonika-TRB140:~# firstboot
This will erase all settings and remove any installed packages. Are you sure?
[N/y]
y
/dev/mtdblock5 is mounted as /overlay, only erasing files
root@Teltonika-TRB140:~# reboot

For firmwares TRB14X_R_00.02.03.2 and lower:
root@TRB140:~# factory_restore
Are you sure (y/n)? y
