Hi,

I'm trying to run a script:

execute factoryreset
y

to do a factory reset from a Fortimanager script, but not sure how to pipe "y" to the question when it get prompt:

execute factoryreset
echo y

FWF60E # execute factoryreset
This operation will reset the system to factory default!
Do you want to continue? (y/n) <<<<<< what to add in script to execute

FWF60E # execute echo y

command parse error before 'echo'
Command fail. Return code -61

FWF60E #

Any info would be helpful oi

Just enter y in a new line.

So the script would be:

execute factoryreset
y

I just tested and confirmed it works on FMG 6.4.7.

This is the original script which is exactly like yours, but I have a lab setup behind a local spectrum router. At the spectrum router, I have portforwarding setup for https port 443 and http port 80, should I open another port? From the fortiwifi, Security Fabric>Settings>Use Fortimanager was on and after I ran it the 1 time, from Fortimanger said wan1 was down, but I can get to Fortiwifi it could no longer to the Test Connectivity test. What other ports should I put my spectrum router/modem to keep the communication up when executing the factoryreset from Fortimanager?

If it makes any difference, my 60E is setup to use dhcp.
