Nortel Networks NN46110-602 manual VPN Router administration

28 Chapter 1 VPN Router administration

You use the Administrator Settings window to do the following:

•change the primary administrator user ID and password

•control the Administrator Idle Timeout Setting for all administrators

•control the default language

•control the serial port settings

There is only one primary administrator. The primary administrator user ID and password combination do the following:

•provide the user with access to all windows and control settings

•allows access to the serial port and the recovery disk

Note: Once you set the primary administrator user ID and password, you must implement an Admin > Shutdown to save the new settings. Doing a reset (using the Reset button on the back of the VPN Router) does not save the settings.

You can change the primary administrator user ID and password on the Admin > Administrator window.

Lost user name and password—resetting the VPN Router to factory defaults

You can set the VPN Router back to the factory default configuration even if you do not know the administrator username and password. To do this:

1Boot the VPN Router into recovery mode.

2Open a browser to the management IP address of the VPN Router. You do not need a user name and password for this step.

3Reset to factory default. After you reset to factory default, the administrator user name is admin and the password is setup.

Caution: Resetting to factory default removes all existing configuration information.
