Unplug the OBi from all three cables:  power, Ethernet and phone.  Turn the OBi upside-down on a flat surface.  Straighten a paper clip.  Find the small dimple with a hole in it, on the now-facing-up bottom of the device.  This the reset switch.  Gently insert the wire and depress the switch until you feel a click.  Keep the switch depressed, while you use your other hand to plug in just the power cord.  Continue to hold the switch down, and wait at least 10 seconds (or more - it won't hurt).  Then release the paper clip, turn the OBi over, and watch while it restores to factory defaults, and then reboots.


Just curious, since I don't know, is resetting using the physical switch on the bottom any more effective than resetting using the IVR or local web UI, e.g. ***8, or Device Update>Reset Configuration>Reset?

A reset to defaults is a reset to defaults.  Doesn't matter how it is done, the result is the same.
