Crestron touch panels are a staple in both commercial and residential environments, providing users with seamless control over various systems such as lighting, audio, video, and HVAC. However, there are times when users may need to reset their Crestron touch panels due to issues like forgotten passwords, software glitches, or configuration errors. This guide will provide detailed instructions on how to reset various models of Crestron touch panels, including factory restore procedures, troubleshooting tips, and frequently asked questions.
Resetting a Crestron touch panel can be necessary for several reasons:
- Forgotten Passwords: If you forget the admin password, a factory reset is often the only way to regain access.
- Software Issues: Malfunctions or bugs in the software may require a reset to restore functionality.
- Configuration Changes: If you've made changes that caused issues, resetting to factory settings can help.
- Selling or Transferring Ownership: If you plan to sell or transfer ownership of the device, resetting it ensures that all personal configurations and data are removed.
There are generally two types of resets you can perform on a Crestron touch panel:
- Soft Reset: This reboots the device without erasing any settings or configurations. It's useful for minor issues that can be resolved with a reboot.
- Factory Reset: This restores the device to its original factory settings, erasing all configurations and data. This is necessary for significant issues or when preparing the device for a new user.
1. Locate the RESET button on the rear of the touch screen.
2. Press and hold this button until the screen begins to reset.
3. Wait for the Crestron logo to appear on the display.
4. Repeat this process 10 more times (for a total of 11 resets).
5. After the 11th reset, the touch screen will enter recovery mode. Follow the prompts to complete the factory restore process.
1. Find the reset button located at the bottom of the touch screen.
2. Press and hold this button for 10 seconds until you see the Crestron swirl logo.
3. Release and press it again, repeating this process 10 more times.
4. After completing 11 resets, follow on-screen instructions for restoring factory settings.
1. Remove the touch panel from its mount if necessary by unscrewing it from its table mount.
2. Unplug the PoE network cable to power off the device.
3. Reconnect the power and immediately press and release the reset button located on the back of the panel 10 times, waiting for the Crestron logo to appear each time.
4. After entering Maintenance Mode, select Factory Restore from the options presented.
5. Wait for several minutes as the device reboots and completes restoration.
1. Press and hold the reset button until the screen goes black.
2. Wait for the Crestron logo with dots to appear; then repeat this process 10 more times (totaling 11).
3. After completing this sequence, follow any prompts that appear for factory restoration.

If you encounter problems during or after resetting your Crestron touch panel:
- Panel Does Not Respond: Ensure that you are pressing and holding buttons correctly as per instructions. If not responding after multiple attempts, consider power cycling by unplugging it briefly before trying again.
- Unable to Enter Recovery Mode: You may need to try multiple times; some users report it can take several attempts before successful entry into recovery mode.
- Firmware Update Needed: If issues persist after resetting, check if your device firmware is up-to-date; outdated firmware can cause problems during resets.
- Black Screen After Reset: If your panel shows a black screen post-reset, ensure it is properly powered via PoE and connected correctly within your network setup. Sometimes leaving it unplugged for several minutes can help reset internal states.
When performing a factory reset:
- Backup Important Data: If your touch panel has any critical configurations or data that you wish to retain, ensure you back them up before proceeding with a factory reset.
- Network Settings: Be aware that performing a factory reset will erase all network settings including static IP addresses and Wi-Fi configurations; you will need to reconfigure these settings afterward.
- User Access Control: If your touch panel is part of a larger system with user access controls enabled, ensure that you have administrative access or know how to re-establish control post-reset.
Resetting your Crestron touch panel can resolve many issues related to functionality and access. By following specific procedures tailored to your model, you can efficiently restore your device to factory settings or troubleshoot minor problems without professional assistance. Always remember that performing a factory reset will erase all custom configurations, so proceed with caution and ensure that backups are made if needed.
A factory reset restores all settings to their original state, erasing user configurations and data stored on the device.
You can typically find your model number on a label located on the back or bottom of your touch panel.
Yes, a soft reset can be done by simply rebooting your device without pressing any buttons; however, it may not resolve deeper software issues.
While generally safe, a factory reset will erase all custom settings; ensure you have backups if necessary before proceeding.
If multiple attempts fail, consider checking for firmware updates or contacting Crestron support for further assistance.
