The worst part about having to configure old appliances is the fact that most of the times, you are faced with having to do password recovery!
This is basically the best password recovery that I have ever done :). How I wish other vendors can adopt such a scheme…
Oh well, Aruba has just impressed me – first impressions do count :). They actually have a login and password for the password recovery procedure to be initiated.
Login: password
Password: forgetme!
User: password Password: *********
Enable password is enable
(Aruba620) >enable Password:******
Create a new password and exit
(Aruba620) (config) #mgmt-user admin root Password:******** Re-Type password:******** (Aruba620) (config) #exit (Aruba620) #exit (Aruba620) >exit (Aruba620)
Login with the new password
User: admin Password: ********
Enable password is still enable for now
(Aruba620) >enable
Password:******
Do not forget to save the changes 🙂
