Troubleshooting user password loss
Symptom
If you lose your user password, you cannot log in to the system.
Solution
To resolve the problem:
1. Select 8 on the main BootWare menu to clear the console interface login password:
===========================<EXTEND-BOOTWARE MENU>===========================
|<1> Boot System |
|<2> Enter Serial SubMenu |
|<3> Enter Ethernet SubMenu |
|<4> File Control |
|<5> Modify BootWare Password |
|<6> Skip Current System Configuration |
|<7> BootWare Operation Menu |
|<8> Skip authentication for console login |
|<9> Storage Device Operation |
|<0> Reboot |
============================================================================
Enter your choice(0-9):8
The following output indicates that you have successfully cleared the console login password.
Clear Application Password Success!
2. Select 0 from the main BootWare menu to reboot the system.
System is rebooting now.
System start booting...
Booting Normal Extend BootWare....
3. After the system restarts up, set a new password.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface console 0
[Sysname-ui-console0] authentication-mode password
[Sysname-ui-console0] set authentication password cipher 123456
The commands above configure password authentication for the console user interface and set
the ciphertext password 123456.
For security purposes, all keys set with the set authentication password { cipher | simple }
password command, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
4. Execute the save command after modifying the user password to save the new password.
[Sysname] save
NOTE:
As a best practice, save the modification as the default configuration file.
5. If the problem persists, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support.
