If you are on this page it is most likely because you want to reset the Linksys SPA-2102 phone adapter and need help. On this page I will describe how to reset the Linksys SPA-2102 back to factory defaults.

A reset is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you are only cycling the power to the device. When you reset the Linksys SPA-2102 you are taking all the settings and returning them all to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the Linksys SPA-2102 router is a big step. Please understand all your personal data will be lost. You need to do a complete factory restore of all settings. It is a good idea to make a list of all the possible settings you have changed in the past. Some of these may include:

  • Changing the DNS servers.
  • IP addresses that you changed in the past.
  • Port forwarding.
  • Speed dial settings.

To reset the Linksys SPA-2102 you might need the password from your Internet Service Provider. You will need to call them for the password in order to reset the Linksys SPA-2102.

  • upper or lower case a,b,c press 2

Once you have entered in the ISP password use the keypad to enter 73738

To confirm this you need to type in 1. If you want to cancel type * on your keypad.

Wait until you hear Option Successful then hang up.

At this point the device will reset then reboot. When it is finished the Linksys SPA-2102 will be reset to factory defaults.

Warning: DO NOT interrupt a reset. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Remember a reset like this one erases all personal data on the device. I recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset.
