This guide covers how to reset the Aztech DSL1015EN-L router back to factory settings. It's important that you know this is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the device. To manually reboot your router you need to unplug the power source for about 30 seconds then plug it back in. This solves some minor behavioral problems your router might have. To reset a router means to take all the settings and erase them. Then all settings are returned to how they were from the factory.
Warning: This will cause additional problems for you if you are not expecting things to be different when you enter the router interface. Please consider the following:
- The router interface username and password are returned to factory defaults.
- The Internet name and password are returned to factory values.
- If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To find out what these are you need to call your local Internet Service Provider.
- If you have ever changed anything else on this router, it will be erased. Make a note of any changes you have made so you can reconfigure them after the reset process is complete.

Reset the Aztech DSL1015EN-L
After you have decided you really want to reset this router, you need to know where the reset button is. Usually it is quite easy but in some cases it is hidden very well. This router is one of the easier ones, take a look at the back panel of the Aztech DSL1015EN-L router. We have circled it's location for you in the image below.
This small button is indented in the back of the router to avoid accidental resets. Take an unwound paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button down for about 10 seconds to start the reset process.
Important: If you don't hold this button down for long enough you will end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.
