2 Installation and Quick Start
How to Recover from a Lost Password
You can use a local computer that connects to the Management
Card or other device through the serial port to access the
control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any
service that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial cable (940-0103) to the selected port
on the computer and to the configuration port at the
battery manager.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) and
configure the selected port as follows:
– 9600 bps
– 8 data bits
– no parity
– 1 stop bit
– no flow control.
4. Press E NTER , repeatedly if necessary, to display the User
Name prompt. If you are unable to display the User
Name prompt, verify the following:
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.
5. Press the Reset button. The Status LED will flash
alternately orange and green. Press the Reset button a
second time immediately while the LED is flashing to
reset the user name and password to their defaults
temporarily.
6. Press E NTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the
User Name prompt, then use the default, apc, for the
user name and password. (If you take longer than 30
seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is
redisplayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)
7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then
User Manager.
8. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and
Password settings, both of which are now defined as
apc.
9. Press C TRL -C , log off, reconnect any serial cable you
disconnected, and restart any service you disabled.
