Instant Login

[mvtown]

I Have just rebooted all my access points, I now can't login in to the instant web UI is says login failure.

I am using the same username and password that I used to login to reboot the AP's. 

I have tried the default username and password!

All my SSID still exist so the config hasn't been wiped?!?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you've exhausted all opportunities at remembering the password, you can reset it using a similar process to the controllers.

Console to the Master AP.

username = admin

password = forgetme!

To see the password:

encrypt disable

show mgmt-user

To reset the password:

configuration terminal

mgmt-user admin <password>

exit

write memory

I have tried the same command but still it showing the passwords in encrypted form

(IMH-MC3600) #show mgmt-user

By the wat  I tested it on controller not IAP. Please advice if its different from controller.

For the controller, it is the same method as mentioned. 

Useranme password

Password: forgetme!

go to configure terminal and use mgmt-user admin root. Then follow by the passwords twice.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I didn't need to do anything in the end as about 3 hours after the reboot, the 11A/N and 11B/G/N lights on the APs went red  and then 30 mins later went back to green. I could then login to the web UI again using the correct password.

Cheers

I have tried on controller to view the password but it shows the password in encrypted form. I have also applied encryption disable command. See the out of post command i have pasted in my earlier post.

You are not able to observe administrator passwords.

Thank CJ. It is for both Instant and Controller?

[cjoseph]

Yes.  That is a big security no-no
