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 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.
Reconnect any cable that you disconnected in step 2 and
restart any service that you disabled in step 1.
