Hi All,

I forgot our Summit X450e admin account password. Can anybody explain the step for using BootROM for resetting the password.

Thanks (from Rajesh_Panchal)

you may load diagnostic linux with bootrom> boot 3 && then enable linux mode && find your config.cfg && open in vi text editor && correct your admin account with your hash (pass)

Be very carefull, you may kill your device with uncorrect steps!!!!! (from pacan4ik1_pacan4ik1)

login at pending-AAA would always fails. You have to wait for normal login screen.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
I've got it working now, I was just being a bit impatient and not waiting for the AAA service to start. So login before that fails with admin/no p/w, but works after it starts . Note I still had to set config to none/default/anon in BootRom first.

###
(pending-AAA) login: [login here fails]
Authentication Service (AAA) on the master node is now available for login.
login: [login here successful]

Thanks
Chris

Contact the TAC, they have some different way to reset the admin password...
