Clearing a Password
Installation
Caution If the HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge Module is removed from the hub and inserted
into another hub, the IP address and any other configuration information in
the module’s firmware are lost. The HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge Module will reset
itself to the factory defaults when the new hub is powered on.
If you remove the HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge Module from a hub and then re-insert
it into the same hub, however, no firmware configuration information is lost.
Never try to separate the two boards that are connected together to form the
HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge Module. If you want remote access server or router
capability, you need to order those capabilities as separate products and
install them into another 100VG hub. Contact your HP-authorized dealer or
reseller for information.
Clearing a Password
There is a Password Clear button on the HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge Module that
is accessed through a hole in the hub’s bulkhead. The HP 100VG SNMP/Bridge
Module’s Password Clear button is behind the unlabeled hole toward the
bottom of the bulkhead.
You can use this button to clear a forgotten password that was previously
configured on the hub. The password is configured from either HP Stack
Manager, HP Interconnect Manager, or the ASCII console.
To clear the password, make sure the module is inserted into the hub and
the power is on, and press and hold the button for approximately five seconds.
Press the Password Clear button
with a pen or other pointed object.
