10 Quick Start: Network Management Card – DC Series
How to Recover from a Lost Password
You can use a local computer that connects to the Management
Card through the serial port at the Management Card’s
mounting bracket to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any
service which uses that port.
2. Use the type 1 or type 2 serial cable as described in
“Local access to the control console” on page 4 to
connect the selected port to the Management Card’s
serial port.
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, and save the
changes.
4. Press
ENTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Press the Reset button on the Management Card, which
causes the Management Card to restart, a process that
typically 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.
10. Restart any service that you disabled in step 1.
