Appendix Dealing with password loss
Use the following solutions when your BootWare password, user password or super password is lost.
User password loss
If you forget your user password, the system will refuse your login. In this case, you can set a new user
password by following the steps below.
1. Enter the BootWare main menu and select 6 to bypass the current configuration in system startup.
The following information appears:
Flag Set Success.
2. When the BootWare main menu appears again, select 0 to restart the system.
System starts booting ...
3. Set a new user password in system view.
[H3C] user-interface console 0
[H3C-ui-aux0] authentication-mode password
[H3C-ui-aux0] set authentication password simple 123456
This information indicates that password authentication is used for console port login, the password is set
to 123456, and it is stored in plain text.
NOTE:
•
After reboot, the system runs with the initial default configuration, while the original configuration file is
still kept in the storage device. To restore the original configuration, use the display saved-configuration
command to locate the configuration file, and then copy and run it.
• If the password is stored in plain text, you can use the display current-configuration command to view
the password in the current configuration. If you use the set authentication password cipher 123456
command to set your password, the password will be stored in cipher text.
4. Save your new password.
[H3C] save
NOTE:
After modifying the user password, use the save command to save it.
