Is there a way to restore default color settings without resetting preferences?

Running InDesign CS6 and I accidentally changed color settings (long story). Now every past document I open comes up with a profile mismatch warning.

I'd like to reset my color setting back to default (inline with all my past documents) but I cannot find anywhere on the web what those original settings should be.

Please help.

(PS- I currently get the warning for both RGB and CMYK)

Out of the box, in the US, it would be North America General Purpose 2, which is not, in my opinion, a good choice for anything.

Set them from Bridge to synch all applications (just pick the settings you used to use). That will apply to all new work, but any files you've created in the period with the incorrect settings will need to be fixed manually.

No need for bridge, not trying to sync between apps.

I just need to know what the InDesign defaults are so I can set back. You say "just pick the settings I used to use" but that is the exact issue. I don't know and cannot seem to find what the default settings were.

I also don't want to reset all my preferences. I have tons of custom settings (not all captured in a saved workspace) and it is a giant pain to get the program back to how I like it after trashing prefs.
