    I have made a downgrade from the version 6.2 to 6.1. Now after doing this I cant get access to the device. I need your help to try to boot the 2nd partition and restore the 1st partition.

    Are you able to get in via console/serial?

    OK, you can use the password recovery feature by entering:

    username: password
    password: forgetme!

     

    Then go in and change the admin account 

     

    (controller) (config) #mgmt-user admin root
    Password: ******
    Re-Type password: ******

    Once you recover the password as cappali suggested you can do the following to boot and upgrade the second partition if that partition doesn't have the code you already want :

     

    (controller) #copy tftp: 10.10.10.3 ArubaOS system: partition 1

     

    (controller) #boot system partition 1

     

    And then reboot.

     

    If you can't reach the controller through your local network then you have to connect directly to one of the network ports

    Issue "show image version" to see which partition 6.1 is on.

    Then issue "boot system partition <0/1>"

    Write mem, then reload.
