ACCESSING A LOST USERNAME OR
PASSWORD
To recover the username or password on a
BMX
digital Server requires using a 2x5 Port to
9-pin DB9 adapter along with a Null Modem Cable
to connect the Single Board Computer (SBC) on
the Session module to a Windows computer run-
ning HyperTerminal.
Follow these steps to recover a lost username or
password:
1
Remove the Session Module from the console.
The console may remain turned on, as hot
swapping of modules is permitted.
2
Connect the 2x5 header on the adapter to the
HDR4 COM1 header on the SBC. The SBC is
the PCA toward the board operator end of the
module that does not have a motherboard con-
nector. The HDR4 header is right below the
Timer Control label on the Session module
faceplate. Orient the flat-cable so that its red
stripe is toward pin 1 on the header (which is
toward the board operator end of the mod-
ule).
3
Connect a DB9 female to female null modem
cable to the 2x5 Port adapter and to a DB9
serial port on a Windows computer.
4
Start HyperTerminal (a Windows Communi-
cations Accessories program) and establish a
new connection using these Port Settings:

5
Reinstall the Session module into the console
with the flat cable feeding up between the Ses-
sion module and the Control room module.
6
As the BMX
digital Server starts up, the ter-
minal will show multiple screens of informa-
tion. Within the NQXcompare section will be
the entry:
USER = username,password
. Use the
HyperTerminal scroll feature to re-display this
information if required.
7
Run FTP Voyager on the setup computer and
enter the username and password as required
to view the Storage Card folder contents.
