Recovering From A Lost Password

Use the following instructions to reset the Network Management Card password.

Note

1.Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.

2.Connect APC serial cable 990-1000A to the Automatic Transfer Switch serial port and to the serial port on the local computer. Run a terminal program (such as Windows HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.

3.Press ENTER and log on as the Automatic Transfer Switch administrator. Select option 11, Web config from the main menu and then disconnect the terminal program.

4.Reconfigure the selected port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and reconnect HyperTerminal.

5.Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt.

6.Press the RESET button on the Network Management Card, which causes the Network Management Card to restart, a process that typically takes approximately 15 seconds.

7.Press ENTER as many times as necessary to re-display the User Name prompt, then use apc for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must start the login procedure again at step 5.)

8.From the Control Console menu, select System, then User Manager.

9.Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which was originally defined as apc.

10.Press CTRL-Cand log off. You must perform the entire procedure (log on, change the user name and password, and log off) within two minutes so that you are not logged off for inactivity. If you are logged off automatically, the new settings will not take effect and you must repeat the entire procedure from the beginning.

11.Press and hold down the Preference button on the Automatic Transfer Switch, which causes the Automatic Transfer Switch to reset, typically in 10 to 15 seconds.
