5) Clear the application super password.
Selecting this option allows you to access system view at the first reboot of the router
after this option is selected. This, however, is a one-time operation. You must provide
the super password at the next reboot.
6) Clear console authentication.
This option allows you to log in from the console port without authentication.
Select the option; exit and then restart the router. The screen displays "Login
authentication ignored", allowing you to log in from the console port without
authentication.
Note that this is a one-time operation. It takes effect only at the first reboot after
resetting console authentication is selected. At the next reboot, console authentication
is required.
7) Start up and ignore configuration.
Select option 7. The system sets an Ignore flag to Flash memory and displays:
Flag set successfully.
Thus, empty configuration applies at reboot. The system removes the Ignore flag after
its boot is completed.
In case you forget the password, you may select this option to have the router boot with
the configuration file ignored. After accessing the system, you may change or delete
the password. Note that if not saved, the modified configuration cannot survive a reboot.
To have the router reboot with the new configuration, you must perform the save
operation after completing configuration.
8) Enter debugging environment in case of faults.
9) Enter the Boot ROM operation menu.
Select <9> to enter Boot ROM Download Menu as follows for upgrade, backup, or
