The FortiGate 30D is an older model (End-of-Support). A factory reset will erase all configurations (firewall rules, VPNs, users, logs) and restore the device to its original state. The device will revert to DHCP on the WAN port and default IP 192.168.1.99 on the internal ports.
If you have access via a console cable or the web-based CLI console, this is the quickest method. How to reset Fortigate 30D to factory default
(1) using the reset button (quick) or (2) using the console port + TFTP (for complete recovery when the device won't boot).
