How to Reset after a Lost Password
NOTE: Resetting your NMC will reset the card to its default configuration.
If you forget your password, you must use the Reset button on the NMC to wipe all configuration, including the
password. Hold down the Reset button for 20-25 seconds, ensuring the Status LED is pulsing green during
this time. When the Status LED changes to amber or orange, release the Reset button to allow the NMC to
complete its reboot process.
After the NMC reboots, you must re-configure your NMC. For more information, see the NMC Installation
Guide available on the APC website. Or see Knowledge Base article FA156064 at http://www.apc.com/
support.
It is recommended you export the .ini file after configuring your NMC to prevent loss of data in the
event of a lost password. See “Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File”.
