How to Recover from a Lost Password

You can use a local computer that connects to the NMC through the serial port to access the command line interface.

1.       Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2.        Connect the provided serial cable (part number 940-0299) to the selected port at the computer and to the configuration port at the NMC.
3.       Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4.       Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:

 

– The serial port is not in use by another application.

– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.

– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.

 

5.       Press the Reset button. The Status LED will flash alternately orange and green. Press the Reset button a second time immediately while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and password to their defaults temporarily.

 

6.       Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt again, then use the default, 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 repeat step 5 and log on again.)

 

7.       At the command line interface, use the following commands to change the Password setting, which is apc at this stage:

 

user -n <user name> -pw <user password>

 

·        For example, to change a password to XYZ, type:

 

ü  user -n apc -pw XYZ

 

·        For a Super User, you must also specify the current password:

ü  user -n <user name> -cp <current password> -pw <user password>

 

·        For example, for a Super User, to change the password to XYZ (from the default user name and password of apc):

ü  user -n apc -cp apc -pw XYZ

 

8.       Type quit or exit to log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, and restart any service you disabled.
