Users Guide

NOTE: Make sure that the CMC module is in a passive state before you begin.
While the J_PWORD jumper is installed, the default administrator account and password is enabled and set to the following default values:
username: root
password: calvin
The administrator account is reset regardless of whether the account has been removed, or the password was changed.
NOTE: When the J_PWORD jumper is installed, a default serial console configuration is used (rather than configuration
property values), as follows:
cfgSerialBaudRate=115200
cfgSerialConsoleEnable=1
cfgSerialConsoleQuitKey=^\
cfgSerialConsoleIdleTimeout=0
cfgSerialConsoleNoAuth=0
cfgSerialConsoleCommand=""
cfgSerialConsoleColumns=0
The following procedure explains how to reset the forgotten administrative password:
1. Press the CMC release latch on the handle and pull the module front panel. Slide the CMC module out of the enclosure.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can damage CMC. Under certain conditions, ESD may build up on your
body or an object, and then discharge into your CMC. To prevent ESD damage, take precautions to discharge static
electricity from your body while handling and accessing CMC outside the Chassis.
2. Short the Password recovery header pins using jumper.
3. Remove the jumper plug from the password reset connector, and insert a 2-pin jumper to enable the default administrator account. To
locate the password jumper on the CMC board, see the following figure.
4. Slide the CMC module into the enclosure. Reattach any cables that were disconnected.
NOTE: Make sure that the CMC module is active until the remaining steps are completed.
5. Wait for the CMC to finish rebooting. In the web interface, in the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Power > Control,
select the Reset CMC (warm boot), and click Apply.
6. Log into the active CMC using the default administrator username: root and password: calvin, and restore any necessary user account
settings. The existing accounts and passwords are not disabled and are still active.
7. Perform the required management actions, including creating an administrator password.
8. Press in the CMC release latch on the handle and pull the module front panel. Slide the CMC module out of the enclosure.
9. Remove the 2-pin jumper from Password recovery header and replace the jumper plug.
10. Slide the CMC module into the enclosure. Reattach any cables that were disconnected. Repeat step 4 to make the unjumpered CMC
module the active CMC.
