Hello as some clients of mine were asking me about a password recovery tutorial i did, so i ll translate what i did to english :)
Hopefully this will help you all like it has done with our clients here.
Okay lets get started!
The first thing you need to know is who is your VC Master, as you need to do the password recovery to the master VC. If you dont know just turn off all the IAP and leave just one, and that one will become the master and the one you will issue this password recovery procedure.
Now you located the Master VC
Access to the Instant AP with a console cable.
As you don tnkow the password you will need to issue:
user:admin
password:forgetme!
Now you are inside the console you issue this command to see which is the password!
show mgmt-user
If you see the password in cleartext well you dont need to do anything you just log off and turn on all your instants APS and the password you just read its the password. In this case is aruba123
if for some reason you cannot see the password or you want to change it you can do this:
After login with
admin
forgetme!
issue this command mgmt-user admin <new-password>
and save the config with write memory like this:
Now the password is aruba1234
As an additional note, if you are using Isntant OS 6.3.1.1-4.0.0.1
you willl see that the write memory will not save anything.... you need to issue the command commit apply like this:
As you see is the same step but the only thing that changed was typing commit apply instead write memory!
Now you can turn on all the other APS and they will get the new Password
Its pretty easy.
Hope this have been informative for you all
Cheers
Carlos
