How to Recover From a Lost Password

You can use a local computer that connects to the PDU through the serial

port on the front panel of the unit.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service

which uses that port.

2. Use the supplied serial cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port

to the RJ-12 serial port on the front panel of the PDU.

3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the

selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow

control. Save the changes.

4. Press

ENTER twice to display the User Name prompt.

5. Press the Reset button on the Switched Rack PDU, which causes the

Switched Rack PDU to restart, a process that typically takes

approximately 15 seconds.

6. Press

ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name

prompt, then use apc for the user name and password. (If you take

longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is

redisplayed, you must start the login procedure again at step 4.)

7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then User

Manager.

8. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password

settings, both of which are now defined as apc.

9. Press

CTRL-C and log off.

Reconnect any cable that you disconnected in step 2 and

restart any service that you disabled in step 1.
