Remove all telnet data from TG582n

[#1]

I restarted the router this morning in the hope that stats collected in the last nine days would be also reset. However, I see that has not happened. For instance the CRC errors figure is the same for nine days per the pre-reset router and the forty minutes for post-reset.
How do I clear the telnet data completely and start over with stats that do not include earlier activity figures; please?
The reason for this.
Over the last few days the CRCs and ESs have soared, and averages from a monitoring program are showing at 219288 and 3451 per hour. But as said above those averages include much old input.

I don't know the commands but try this site: http://npr.me.uk/telnet.html for telnet commands of the TC582n.

It's not something I've ever tried to do so you will not find the command on the above site. Also I'm on a fibre connection now so I can't test this.
To clear the stats you could try the following telnet command:
xdsl info counters_reset=yes

AFAIK a factory reset should do that, the CLI command if you wanted to do that via telnet is: :system reset factory=yes proceed=yes
Obviously do be aware that you'd lose any config too so saving that first would be a good idea.
