2.6.4.4 Resetting the nsroot User Password
In order to reset your root password, you must boot the NetScaler system in to
single user mode, mount the file systems in read/write mode, and remove the
‘set system user nsroot’ entry from the ns.conf file. This process does not
recover your root password, but will allow you to reset it to the default setting
of ‘nsroot’ and then enter a new password.
 To recover the password
1. Accessing the NetScaler system via the serial console, boot in single user
mode.
As the operating system starts, it displays the following message:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
