Resetting and Clearing

N o t e s

Resetting the router module does not affect any current password(s).

 

Any configuration changes you have not yet saved (in either Quick

 

Configuration or the Configuration Editor) are discarded. After a reset,

 

the router initializes with whatever configuration was last saved.

 

If the Self-test LED does not turn off within 20 seconds after pressing

 

and releasing the Reset button, the self-test has failed. If this occurs,

 

refer to chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”.

N o t e

Clearing the Passwords

The Clear button is recessed to prevent unintentional clears. To clear the passwords, use a nonconducting, pointed implement such as a wooden pencil or a toothpick to press and release the recessed Clear button on router module’s cover plate. (See figure 3-2 on page 3-4.)

Access to the router will no longer be limited by either a manager or user password. Using the Clear button removes all constraints on access by anyone using the console, Telnet, TFTP, or a network manager.

To set new passwords, use the NCL Password command on the console. (For more information, refer to “Specify Manager and User Passwords”, page 1-9, or to the Operator’s Reference.)
