Reset Configuration to defaults in Console Setup and now Server is Broke

[Tyler14777]

I was having issues with Plex not working and after messing with the DNS to try and fix the issue the HexOS command tab would not open but the Truenas web user interface would. Therefore, I plugged my server into my monitor and clicked on 9 (Reset Configuration to Defaults. After completing this the HexOS command center reappeared but nothing would work. It was labeled an unhealthy server and I tried to reset through the HexOS interface and wipe all the data. This has had no effect and the server remains as it was. I have also been unable to boot into the bios to attempt a clean install as it always goes to the HexOS launcher. What do you suggest I do? Reinstall is fine but I would like my system to work again.

By pulling out the Drive I was able to do a fresh install of the server. However, Plex still will not install (which is what kicked off this entire ill-conceived project). Will wait for an update but any official fix would be welcome.

Got a snip of the error or full log of the errors

No, there weren't any errors posted other than the web interface indicating that there was an issue and then being unresponsive. On the monitor everything appeared to be ok outside of some orange text on the reboots that was too fast for me to see. I was able to fix the issue by pulling the OS drive putting in the Thumb drive installer and then rebooting. I then turned off the computer, put the drive back in, and was able to boot from the installer and do a fresh install.
