Resetting the admin password

In the event the administrator wants to reset the password for the PM IPDU (for example, if the

administrator forgets the admin password), then the loopback connector that is shipped with the PM

IPDU may be used for temporary access to the PM IPDU.

To reset the admin password using the loopback connector:

1. If you are not logged out, log out by entering

exit. (You must be at the login prompt for this

to work.)

2. Connect the loopback connector shipped with the PM IPDU to the OUT port.

3. Check the display. If you are watching the PM IPDU's console output, your status will

be reported.

4. After one minute, you may remove the loopback connector. The password for the user admin is

reset to the default (pm8), and you should be able to log into the PM IPDU using the default

username/password. For maximum security, the admin password should be changed as soon

as possible.

The upgrade procedure described here is only valid for units that are currently running firmware
