this will wipe the config or reset the config or pass?

You can keep the current config but I would just wipe it and start fresh since this is new switch to you

i went to rename the config, it renamed, then i tried deleting the config.text left over, but the permsisions are read only, there a way i can delete the config file or format the config file/what i need to format to clear out the current config
