In this guide I will be showing you how to reset the Huawei B593 Zain router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the unit. A reset is taking every single setting and returning them all to factory defaults.

Warning: A reset takes every single setting you have ever changed and erases them returning them back to how they were when they left the factory. Settings you need to consider are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The wireless info. such as SSID and Internet password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. You need to call your local Internet Service Provider for the information.
  • If you have ever changed any other settings such as port forwards or IP address changes these should be written down as well.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

On this router the reset button is located on the side-panel of the device. I have circled it's approximate location in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Huawei B593 router.

Take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 7 to 10 seconds. If the reset button is not held down for long enough you will simply reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed. We recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue with this reset.

Login to the Huawei B593

Following that you'll need to log into your Huawei B593 Zain router. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Don't know where you can find these? We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults aren't logging you in it might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

After you've logged into your router we suggest setting a new password for it. Remember that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. Still, setting a strong password is always a good choice. For more help be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Afraid of losing your new password? Try writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the underside of your router.
