Without a saved config file to reload, you're stuck doing a "factory reset"
on the box and starting from scratch.

The newer boxes have a button, the older boxes can be reset by using a
crossover cable between the trusted and external interfaces and
power-cycling the unit.

You'll then need to use the console cable and software to first setup a
basic config.
