Performing factory reset
If you want to remove all data from a FortiGate device that uses FIC for MFA authentication before transferring or disposing the device, we strongly recommend doing the following:
-
Before performing a factory reset, remove all data on the FortiGate by executing the CLI command
"execute fortitoken-cloud sync"in the Global VDOM. -
After the factory reset, log in to the FIC portal and remove any data related to the device that still remains in the portal.
For instructions on how to delete user-related data from the FIC portal, refer to Deleting users from FIC and Deleting a FortiProduct.
