I can't figure this out and there isn't much documentation on the subject online. The reset button just resets the device even after holding it for 10+ seconds and there is nothing in the CLI.

Nick,
I did some research and came across this post about the 6120 which I am hoping is similar to your 6160. It looks like there is a write erase command you could use assuming you have CLI access.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but hope this helps somewhat. Will continue to do some digging to see if I can find anything in the manuals.

Thanks for looking into it but i don't have a write erase option in the CLI. This is a very old device, 10+ years, and I'm not sure it has the same options as newer Cisco devices. I also don't know the enable password which severely limits my options. I've spent 2 or 3 entire work days searching for any information about old Cisco DSLAMs and I can't find anything that pertains to me. If you get lucky and find anything please let me know.
Thanks again.

If you have access to the CLI with appropriate permissions, you could do "write erase" or "erase startup-config" - they look like a standard IOS interface, so one of those should work.
Cheers.

We have access to the CLI but don't have permissions because we don't know the enable password since we bought the device from another company. I only have the entry level commands and there are no write or erase commands.

Note that this WILL be a disruptive process, so if the device is in production, schedule downtime accordingly.
Cheers
