At the time of the first password change, a password ‘hint’ prompt will be displayed.
Once established, this hint answer can be used to reset the admin password, if it has been
forgotten, via the ‘recover’ Telnet login, as follows:
> Login: recover
> Password: (default)
Once logged in as ‘recover’, the hint will be given:
> What is the name of your favorite pet?
Upon successful answer, the admin password can then be changed.
CAUTION - It is strongly advised that the admin password, and hint answer
be recorded and stored in a secure location.
NOTE - Password & hint fields are case sensitive and no spaces are allowed.
Password & hint should be 6-32 characters in length. To avoid a ‘weak password’
warning when changing the password via Telnet, it is required that passwords
contain a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.
