Goal

In some cases, the customer may have forgotten the XSCF user name or password. This document will
tell the customer how to recover it.

Solution

The following procedure 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)
