Hi team,
I am kind of a stuck in a situation. I was accessing the fortinet dashboard board the DDNS with Letsencrypt SSL. I had setup a port forwarding to one my server through port 443 and 22. I didn't realise the ports were also used for the web admin and ssh. Now when I am trying to access the web admin and SSH the requests are being forwarded to the server. Is there anyway I can change the port or there's no other way apart from resetting the device? I do have a backup file, but not sure how to even restore that.
Thanks!

I believe you tried http/telnet (or they are not enabled) and didnt work, then console access is the option. Arrange for console access and then modify the configuration (either the NAT rules or the server port for https on the system)

Thanks Suraj! Luckily I had remote access enabled. That helped in getting back access and removing the port forwarding. I'll also keep in mind about console access.
