password is lost, there is no way to access the unit, except by using a one-time password (OTP) for

recovery. This must be established by the user beforehand. Without a one-time password, the unit will not

be accessible and the hardware will need to be returned to the factory to be re-imaged to defaults.

Technical Support will not be able to assist you if a password is lost, so creating a one-time password is

strongly encouraged. A device with a lost password

One-Time Passwords: How They Work

One-time recovery passwords put control directly and exclusively in the user’s hands. They are similar to

spare keys for a lock. If you make a spare key and put it away safely, you can take it out to quickly gain

entry when your primary key is lost. If you don’t make a spare, you are always at risk of locking yourself

out.

A one-time recovery password is different from the one used to log into the unit on a routine basis. It is

only for use when the primary password is lost or forgotten. When a one-time password is used to log in,

that password is automatically revoked from the list of passwords created. You may create up to five one-

time passwords at one time and more can be created if some get used. A password cannot be used again

for log in to the unit, hence the name “one-time” password.

NOTE One-time passwords are only displayed at the time of creation. The password must be saved and

archived at that time. There is no way to view this password again.

Logging in With a One-Time Password

Logging in with a one-time password can only be performed from the local serial or USB console. You

cannot use a one-time password when connecting to the unit remotely. To use the one-time password for

log-in, proceed as follows:

At the username prompt, enter the word recovery. 1.
