Resetting the admin password
In the event the administrator wants to reset the password for the PM IPDU (for example, if the
administrator forgets the admin password), then the loopback connector that is shipped with the PM
IPDU may be used for temporary access to the PM IPDU.
To reset the admin password using the loopback connector:
1. If you are not logged out, log out by entering exit . (You must be at the login prompt for this
to work.)
2. Connect the loopback connector shipped with the PM IPDU to the OUT port.
3. Check the display. If you are watching the PM IPDU's console output, your status will
be reported.
4. After one minute, you may remove the loopback connector. The password for the user admin is
reset to the default (pm8), and you should be able to log into the PM IPDU using the default
username/password. For maximum security, the admin password should be changed as soon
as possible.
