Setting NCU Passwords to Default Values
Setting NCU Passwords to Default Values
This section describes the procedures for resetting NCU passwords to default for first
and second generation NCUs.
Note
Access to the boot loader must be enabled to reset NCU passwords
during NCU reboot. Access to the boot loader is disabled if the following
messages do NOT appear on serial port during the boot process:
“Press space to abort autoboot in 2 seconds” (first
generation NCU)
or
“Autobooting in 3 seconds” (second generation NCU)
Password reset via boot loader is not possible in this case.
About Default Passwords
When using the boot loader feature to reset the password, NE user settings are reset to
default, while all other NE settings remain unchanged.
After the reset, there is only a single user ADMIN with admin privileges. The security
mode is not changed by the reset:
• When in BASIC security mode, the default user <ADMIN> has the password
<CHGME.1A>.
• When in ENHANCED security mode, the default user <ADMIN> has the password
<ChangeMe.1Now!2>.
The security mode is visible from the Security > Access > Password Management
blade, under the application.
Follow the procedure that corresponds to the NCUtype in the NE to reset the password
to default:
“Resetting Passwords in First Generation NCUs” on p.512
“Resetting Passwords in Second Generation NCUs” on p.514
“Controlling Boot Loader Access” on p.516
Requirements
• Your computer must be connected to the NE with a serial cable.
• For information about establishing a serial connection, refer to the “Connecting to the
Network Element” section in the Provisioning and Operations Manual.
