Please do the following to recover/reset a JUNOS root password:
1. Obtain console access
2. Power off the system and boot it up in single user mode.
This is done by typing "-s" at the boot: prompt.
3. Next, the system will do it's normal boot up process.
When prompted for "pathname" enter:
/usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode
This will run a script for password recovery.
Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:
/usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode
4. The system will finish booting up and put you at a "root>"
prompt
as such.
