Recover a Lost Password 
If you have forgotten the system password, you can use the bootrom
interface to disable logon authentication on the console port to log on
and configure a new password. This process disables the administrator
authentication only for a single console port logon. 


 Note  To perform this procedure, you must access the SmartEdge router
through the console port (Craft 2) on the active controller card.  


To recover a lost password, perform the following steps: 

Access the bootrom interface (that is, get to the ok prompt). 
Enter the reload command (in CLI exec mode) from the console port:
Watch the reload progress messages carefully. When the following message
appears, immediately type se*: 
Auto-boot in 5 seconds - press se* to abort, ENTER to boot:

If you typed se* within 5 seconds, the bootrom ok prompt appears. The
system sets the auto-boot time limit to 5 seconds, however, during some
operations, such as a release upgrade, the system sets the time-limit to
one second to speed up the process, then returns it to 5 seconds when
the system reboots. (If you missed the time limit, the reload continues;
start again with step a.) 

Disable administrator authentication at the console port for a single
console logon; enter the following bootrom command:
ok setenv user-auth? false 

Reset the hardware and boot the system; enter the following bootrom
command:
ok reset 

Modify the enable and administrator account passwords:
After the system has booted, press Enter at the console port. 
The system does not prompt for a username and password. 

Access global configuration mode; enter the following command (in exec
mode) in the SmartEdge OS CLI:
configure 

Access context configuration mode; enter the following command (in
global configuration mode):
context local 

Create an enable password for privileged access to the system, or modify
the enable password; enter the following command (in context
configuration mode):
enable password [level level] password 

Create a new administrator account to access the system, or modify the
password for an existing administrator account; enter the following
command (in context configuration mode):
administrator admin-name password password 

Use the new administrator account and the enable password for subsequent
access to the system.

Hi everyone,

i'm in an emergency as someone has changed the password (and possibly
the login as well) to one of our redbacks (smartedge se100).

Is there anyway to fix this and regain control over the se100 ?

Thx for your help.
