Password loss
User password loss
If you lose your password, you cannot enter the system. In this case, you can boot the system by ignoring
the system configuration. Follow these steps to solve the user password loss:
Step1
Enter the BootWare main menu, and select
6
to boot the system by ignoring the system configuration.
The system prompts the following:
Flag Set Success.
The output indicates that the setting succeeded.
Step2
When the BootWare main menu appears again, select
0
to reboot the system.
System is rebooting now.
System start booting...
Booting Normal Extend BootWare....
Step3
Set a new password in system view after the system reboots.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface console 0
[Sysname-ui-console0] authentication-mode password
[Sysname-ui-console0] set authentication password simple 123456
The output shows that the console port uses password authentication, and the password is set to 123456
and stored in plain text.
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 view 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.
NOTE:
After the firewall reboots, the system runs with the initial default configuration, but the previous
configuration file is still stored in the storage medium. To restore the previous configuration, use the
display saved-configuration
command to display the configuration, and then copy and execute the
configuration.
Step4
Save the new password.
[Sysname] save
NOTE:
•
To save the new password, execute the
save
command after modifying the user password.
•
HP recommends saving the modification as the default configuration file.
Super password loss
You can clear the super password by selecting
8
on the BootWare main menu.
