4.5 Resetting the Node to the Factory Default
Setting
From release 4.0 onward, you can use the bof>bof-password command to modify
the factory default BOF password password.
The user must enter the correct BOF password to edit the BOF parameters. If the
incorrect password is entered three times consecutively, the system prompts the
user, after the third attempt, to reset the BOF password to the factory default.
If the user chooses not to reset the BOF password, the system prompts the user to
enter the password again. If the user chooses to reset the password to factory
default, the system also resets the flash to factory defaults (removes all files from the
flash drive, except the boot image file (cf1:\boot.tim) and TiMOS image file
(cf1:\both.tim)) as a security measure to prevent malicious access to the
configuration file.
After password reset, the node is rebooted with the factory default settings; the BOF
parameters are also set to default values. The user must now setup the box using
the same steps that were used during first-time boot up of the factory-shipped box.
After the system boots up with this setup, use the factory default password
password to edit the BOF parameters, and use the bof>bof-password command
to change the password again.
The following sample logs show the system console prompts that are displayed when
the user forgets the password and chooses to reset the password to the factory
default setting. The BOF contents before and after the reset are also displayed.
Note:
• The BOF password can be changed from the default value to any other user-defined
value only at the TiMOS level.
• Nokia strongly recommends that the user should not rename cf1:\boot.tim and
cf1:\both.tim if the system needs to retain them during the password recovery
procedure.
• Nokia strongly recommends that the user should retain a backup copy of all the image
files, configuration files, and other data.
Note: The BOF parameters are set to default values after a password reset.
