Protection against the brute force attack
Protection against the brute force will take a place when an invalid password is entered repeatedly.
If the invalid password is entered 5 times, the controller gets blocked for entering password for a while.
Each further entering of the invalid password cause the consequent blocking time is increased.
If the invalid password is entered repeatedly the controller gets blocked for entering the password
permanently and the password must be reset to a default value as described below.
Note: Blocking of the controller for entering the password have no influence to controller/genset operation
Note: Permanent blocking cannot occur accidentally, just by user mistake. It can be practically triggered only
by a focused activity.
Resetting the administrator password
If the administrator password is lost or controller is permanently locked due to brute-force attack
protection, proceed according to a procedure described below:
IMPORTANT: There is a backup e-mail address defined in the controller to which and only which
ComAp will send the “password reset action code”. Please be sure, that you have adjusted this e-
mail address correctly. Use InteliConfig to adjust the backup e-mail address
