How to Recover From a Lost Password
You can use a local computer that connects to the unit through the serial
port on the front panel of the unit.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service
which uses that port.
2. Use the supplied smart-signaling cable (940-0024C) to connect the
selected port to the serial port on the front panel of the unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the
selected port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow
control. Save the changes.
4. Press
ENTER twice to display the User Name prompt.
5. Press the Reset button on the Network Management Card, which
causes the it to restart, a process that takes approximately 15 seconds.
6. Press
ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name
prompt, then use apc for the user name and password. (If you take
longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is
redisplayed, you must start the login procedure again at step 4.)
7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then User
Manager.
8. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password
settings, both of which are now defined as apc.
9. Press
CTRL-C and log off.
Reconnect any cable that you disconnected in step 2 and
restart any service that you disabled in step 1.
