Question: How do I reset the Aruba Instant password if I have more than one IAP?
Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba Instant and AruabOS versions.
To change the Aruba Instant password, console into the master Aruba Instant AP (IAP) and follow these steps:
Log in to the console of the Aruba Instant with these credentials:
User: admin
Password: forgetme!
To see the password, issue this command:
show mgmt-user
If the password is encrypted, issue this command to disable the encryption:
encrypt disable
To see the password, issue this command:
show mgmt-user
To reset the password, issue this command:
# Conf t
(conf t)#mgmt-user admin <password>
This procedure does not require a reboot. The active master remains as the active master, and this new password is pushed to all other IAPs.
