Default Factory Reset S3 Miner

[OpaMunze]

My friend just gifted me his Bitmain S3 and S3+ miners.  However, I can't seem to get into the settings on them, as I assume the settings are still configured by my friend or he's bricked it

I can't see the IP address of the miner on my network, but when I do type in an IP address in my browser, I get a page loaded with the following

`LuCI - Lua Configuration Interface`

Moreover, its jsut a red light next to the ethernet/RJ45 plug that stays on.

**How can I factory reset the devices?**

There is two pins on the controller that might reset it back to defaults with a paper clip/ wire etc or did for me a long time ago,sorry i can't remember the pins it's been that long those miners are so old to use .

also there is a reset button hold it in while powering up the miner that might work .  then type 192.168.1.99 in any browser . the Default IP is 192.168.1.99.

Man that miner beings back memory's.

dude what ip address are you typing to get Luci page loaded ?  i think LUA  it's the programming language used in S3 firmware , i am pretty sure a reset will resolve the issue for you without having to go into much details, you can confirm that ip belongs to the miner by trying to access it while your miner is powered-off, and after you have cleared your browser cache, if the page doesnt show, then that was your miner, if it does, then you might have unknowingly installed LUA and whatever that shows is the a local-web-server running on your pc/network, but that is pretty unlikely.

TL;DR, make a hard-reset , look for the new miner ip ,log in , mine away.

You can find the reset button on the right side of ethernet near 2 LEDs and use a paperclip (or any stick the fits on the hole) to press the reset button for 5 to 10 seconds.

Just found this procedure from here [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S3 Setup [HD]

Well this doesn't seem to work for some reason, still cant get into the miner.

I think the issue I have was that my power was cut during the boot/firmware upgrade. I tripped over some cords and plugged it out.
