Goal

This document will explain how to recover a lost/forgotton password.

Solution

The following procedure is to reset a lost password.

---
1. Connect the administrative console to the serial port using the serial cable that shipped with the server.
2. Configure the settings on the administrative console. The console should have the following settings:

Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data length: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop: 1 bit
Flow control: None
Delay: Except for 0

3. When the login prompt appears, enter default for the login name:

Default user account: default
The user privileges are useradm, platadm.
Default password:

The default password is not input directly on the keyboard. Instead, after the default user account is input, the mode switch of the operator panel is operated as follows.

If Locked, change to Service. (Or if Service, change to Locked)
Press return. Keep the status for more than 5 seconds.
Change to Locked. (Or change to Service)
Press return.

This mode switch operation is done within one minute. When one minute is passed, the authentication timeout occurs.

Sample
login: default
Change the panel mode switch to Service and press return...
(Operation : Locked state -> Service -> Return)
Leave it in that position for at least 5 seconds. Change the panel
mode switch to Locked, and press return...
(Operation : Wait more than 5 seconds -> Service state ->
Locked -> Return)
XSCF>

4.Use the showuser -l command to confirm your current user info.

Sample:

User Name: xxxxx
UID: 100
Status: Enabled
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 99999
Warning: 7
Inactive: -1
Last Change: Mar xx, 20xx
Password Expires: Never
Password Inactive: Never

6. Using the commands below, set user account, password and privileges.

XSCF> adduser xxxxx
XSCF> password xxxxxxxx
XSCF> setprivileges xxxxxx

7. You can use the exit command to logout and try your new user account.
