Dealing with password loss

This section describes how to deal with password loss.

User password loss

If you forget your user password, BootWare password, or super password, you can set a new user
password by following these steps:
Enter the BootWare main menu and select 6 to bypass the current configuration in system startup.
Step1
The following information appears:
Flag Set Success.
When the BootWare main menu appears again, select 0 to restart the system.
Step2
On an EWPX1WCMB0, the following output appears:
System starts booting ...
On an EWPX1WCMD0, the following output appears:
System is starting...
Set a new user password in system view.
Step3
[H3C]user-interface con 0
[H3C-ui-console0]authentication-mode password
[H3C-ui-console0]set authentication password simple 123456
The output shows that password authentication is used for console port login, the password is set to
123456, and it is stored in plain text.
IMPORTANT:
After reboot, the system runs with the initial default configuration, while the original configuration file is

still kept in the CF card. 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.
Save your new password.
