To recover your Firebox X Edge e-Series device, you must first reset the Edge to its factory default settings, and then FTP the Edge v10.x appliance software to the Edge.
To set the Firebox X Edge e-Series to the factory default settings:

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. Hold down the Reset button on the rear side of the Edge.
  3. Connect the power supply while you continue to hold down the Reset button.
  4. Continue to hold down the button until the yellow Attn light stays on. This shows you that the Edge was successfully restored to the factory default settings.
    This process can take 45 seconds or more.
To FTP the Edge v10.x appliance software to the Edge:
  1. Copy the Edge v10 upgrade file (yakfw.sysa-dl) to the root of your C: drive.
  2. Edit the network settings on your computer so that it is part of the 192.168.111.0/24 subnet.
  3. Connect your computer to any of the LAN interfaces on the Edge.
  4. Open a command prompt.
    To open a command prompt, select Start > Run. Type cmd and press Enter.
  5. Type ftp 192.168.111.1 and press Enter. When prompted, enter the user name admin and the password admin. Press Enter.
  6. Type bin. Press Enter.
  7. Type put yakfw.sysa-dl. Press Enter.
  8. Type bye. Press Enter.
  9. Type exit. Press Enter.
    The command prompt window closes.
  10. Power cycle the Edge.

What I would suggest you do in this case is to perform a master reset by pressing and holding the RESET button on the back of the box for about 5-10 seconds. Release, wait until it boots, then attempt another login. If you don't have the original manual, as the settings will all be reset to factory, you can download them online from Watchguard.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance in this matter. :) -Jason

Setting up a VPN through watchguard

The key with any VPN solution is to make sure that the configurations on both ends match. I am not very familiar with this particular product, but it looks like you need to have the proper VPN licenses installed first. There are two types of VPN you can do. 1) Site to Site - This is where the are two static boxes that you want to create an encrypted tunnel between 2) Remote User access - This is where mobile users connect to a central site over an encrypted tunnel from their home or on the road. Next, take a looks at the User Guide PDF here: https://www.watchguard.com/help/documentation/soho6.asp Chapter 10 tells how to configure the VPN on the Firebox side. You would just duplicate your settings if your doing option #1. Chapter 11 tells how to configure the VPN on the client side. This section would tell you how to configure the client software for option #2. Hope this helps.
