    I have a 7005 controller i would like to factory reset. The issue is I don't have the password and cannot reset the password. 

    I go through the process of password/forget me but when i go to configure Terminal i get:

    (Aruba7005_BE_EF_68) #configure terminal
    This controller is managed by a Mobility Master.
    Configuration changes can only be performed on the Mobility Master.

    I tried write erase all and get: 

    (Aruba7005_BE_EF_68) #write erase all
    Controller will be factory defaulted. All the configuration and databases will be deleted. Controller will be reloaded. Press 'y' to proceed : [y/n]: y
    Error:You do not have permission to execute this command

    So doing research they say Turn on disater recovery. I tried this and i get: 

    (Aruba7005_BE_EF_68) #disaster-recovery ON
    Error:You do not have permission to execute this command

    Doing more research I found i need to run local-config enable. When i do this it's like the command doesn't exist:

    (Aruba7005_BE_EF_68) #local-
    local-userdb            Configure the Local User Database
    local-userdb-guest      Configure a guest user in local user database

    show mgmt-user has no users defined and i can't use the "password recovery" commands.  The controller is running 8.7.0.2. 

    (Aruba7005_BE_EF_68) #show mgmt-user
    No Users defined

    Anyone have an idea how to get in and factory reset the controller??

    The 'local-config' command hasn't been an option since 8.4.

    You should be able to interrupt the boot and reset the configuration from there.
