Troubleshooting and Recovery 313
To perform management actions, a user with Administrator privileges is
required. The CMC software has a user account password protection security
feature that may be disabled if the administrator account password is
forgotten. If the administrator account password is forgotten, it can be
recovered using the PASSWORD_RSET jumper on the CMC board.
The CMC board has a two-pin password reset connector as shown in
Figure 11-1. If a jumper is installed in the reset connector, the default
administrator account and password is enabled and set to the default values
of username: root and password: calvin. The administrator account will be
reset regardless if the account has been removed, or if the password was
changed.
NOTE: Make sure the CMC module is in a passive state before you begin.
1 Press in the CMC release latch on the handle and rotate the handle away
from the module front panel. Slide the CMC module out of the enclosure.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic components
inside your equipment. Under certain conditions, ESD may build up on your body or
an object, and then discharge into another object, such as your CMC. To prevent
ESD damage, you should discharge static electricity from your body before you
interact with any of your equipment’s internal electronic components.
2 Remove the jumper plug from the password reset connector, and insert a 2-
pin jumper to enable the default administrator account. See Figure 11-1 to
locate the password jumper on the CMC board.
