Note:
Either failure to provide the correct old password or new password inconsistency can
fail a password modification attempt. The system then exits from this operation.

Reset console authentication
Enter <7> in the main Boot ROM menu. Exit and then restart the router. The screen
displays “Login authentication ignored”, allowing you to log in from the console port
without authentication.
Note that this is a one-time operation. It takes effect only at the first reboot after
resetting console authentication is selected. At subsequent reboots, console
authentication is required.
8)
Ignore the system configuration
Enter <8> in the main Boot ROM menu. The system sets an Ignore flag to Flash
memory and displays:
Flag set successfully.
Thus, empty configuration applies at reboot. The system removes the Ignore flag after
its boot is completed.
In case you forget the password, you may select this option to have the system boot
with the configuration file ignored. After the system boots up, you may change or delete
the password. Note that if not saved, the modified configuration cannot survive a reboot.
To have the router reboot with the new configuration, you must perform the save
operation after completing configuration.
