We have a 1950 that we are locked out of due to losing the admin cli password and also cannot get into the GUI. I would like to get back in without factory resetting. I read the following possible solution in a thread but has anyone done this? Does anyone know what they might be referring to in step 4 when they say "special unlock password"? Is this referring to xtd cli password?
There is a procedure, but it requires unlocking CLI in 1950. You can contact HPE Support for the CLI unlock password. When you obtain it, this should help:
1. reboot, Ctrl+D, option 4, Ctrl+B
2. Option 7 - Skip Current System Configuration
3. Option 0 - Reboot
4. Unlock CLI (special unlock password should be used. This is an exception process.)
5. Enter following commands:
system-view
configuration replace file startup.cfg
#Current configuration will be lost, save current configuration? [Y/N]: N
local-user admin
undo password
return
#
save safely force
reboot
