6.5 What if I Forget the Password?
If you forget the BIPAC-645 Manager password, the only way to recover is clear the entire configuration
and return the unit to its original state as shipped from the factory. Unfortunately, this means that you have to
re-enter all of your configuration data.
To clear the configuration and restore the password to the default, follow these steps:
Step 1:
Using the supplied Null Modem Cable, connect a console (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal) to Router Console port. The default port settings are 19200, N, 8, 1, no
flow control.
Step 2:
Turn off the BIPAC-645, and then turn it on again. In the console window, you’ll see the message
“Loading firmware...”.
Step 3:
When you see the message "Ready",
immediately
(within one second) press Ctrl+C.
Step 4:
When this is complete, BIPAC-645 will return all settings to the factory default. The password will
once again be “password”.
