appears:
System is rebooting now.
System start booting...
Booting Normal Extend BootWare....
After reboot, the system runs with the initial default configuration, but the original configuration file
is still stored in the storage medium. To restore the original configuration, use the display
saved-configuration command to display the configuration, and copy and execute the
configuration.

<HP>system-view
[HP]user-interface console 0
[HP-ui-console0]authentication-mode password
[HP-ui-console0]set authentication password simple 123456
When you set the password by using the set authentication password { cipher | simple } password
command, follow these guidelines.
{ If the cipher keyword is specified, the password is stored in cipher text. You cannot see the
password by using the display current-configuration command.
{ If the simple keyword is specified, the password is stored in plain text. You can use the display
current-configuration command to view the password in the current configuration.

HP recommends that you save the configuration to the default configuration file.

Software loading failure
If software loading fails, the system runs the previous software version. To troubleshoot the software
loading failure:
• Verify that the physical ports are correctly connected. If the cable of any port is not connected,
re-connect the cable to the port, and make sure that the physical connection is correct. Load the
software again.
• Check for errors in the software loading process displayed on the HyperTerminal. If errors exist,
correct them, and load the software again.
For example, the software loading failures might occur in the following situations:
• When you use XMODEM to load software, you select a baud rate other than 9600 bps, but you
have not re-set the baud rate for the HyperTerminal.
• When you use TFTP to load software, you entered an incorrect IP address, software name, or TFTP
serve path.
• When you use FTP to load software, you entered an incorrect IP address, software name, username,
or password.
If software loading has failed even if the physical connections are in good condition and the software
loading process does not have any input errors, contact HP Support.
