- appropriate boot code version need to be installed on device
- gwload.exe
- TFTP client
Update Server
If you know that there an Update Server URL configured on the device and you have access to the web server with update skript on it, you can change polled update script to following, to reset admin password on the device.
# reset password config change CMD0 /name mydevicehostname /log on /user admin,ip6000 config write # encrypt it config activate # remove from visible config config change CMD0 /name mydevicehostname /log on # done
In case one of ETH interfaces is configured as DHCP client, you can provide Update Server URL to device via DHCP.
TFTP
If usage of Update Server approach is not possible you have last resort to get the device configuration via TFTP. Make sure you have read articles about Howto:How_to_Reset_IPXXX_%2C_factory_default%2C_led_behaviour%2C_tftp_mode%2Cclear_config%2Cgwload and Howto:How_to_use_gwload, before you start to recover device configuration via TFTP.
