FortiGate factory configuration change

[Mohamedhh96]

Now I want to change the factory default configuration of FortiGate to my running configuration so I can restore my configuration using reset button. So can anyone help me to achieve that ?

Are you sure we can do that?

[Mohamedhh96]

I see this in another vendors.

It would be nice to have a button like that to restore the configuration file of your choice whenever you want :) 
Factory default configuration is there for a reason :)

Hi @Mohamedhh96,

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve? Are you trying to factory reset the FortiGate?

Hi @Mohamedhh96 ,

To my knowledge that is not achievable, when you reset a FortiGate to its default configuration, it will load a stored configuration file that cannot be customised.

This option is available in another vendors like juniper. So i think it is available in FortiGate but i need to know the path of default factory configuration file

Hi Mohamedhh96,
Hope you are doing good.
On Fortigate we can't customize the default Fortigate configuration. Please check below link for more details:

Also if you want to store a previous configuration-backup, please check below link:
