152Troubleshooting the NVG

A User Password is Lost

Administrator User Password

If you have lost the Administrator user password there is only one way to regain access to the VPN Gateway as the Administrator user: reinstalling the software through a console connection as the Boot user.

For more information, see “Reinstalling the Software” (page 70).

Operator User Password

If you have lost the Operator user password, log in as the Administrator user and define a new Operator user password. Only the Administrator user can change the Operator user password.

For more information, see the edit command in the "User Access Configuration " section under Configuration Menu>System Configuration in the Command Reference.

Root User Password

If you have lost the Root user password, log in as the Administrator user and define a new Root user password. Only the Administrator user can change the Root user password. For more information, see the edit command in the "User Access Configuration " section under Configuration Menu>System Configuration in the Command Reference.

Boot User Password

The default Boot user password cannot be changed, and can therefore never really be "lost". If you have forgotten the Boot user password, see “Accessing the NVG Cluster” (page 140).

If the Boot user password could be changed and you have lost both the Administrator password and the Boot user password, the VPN Gateway be rendered completely inaccessible to all users except the Operator, whose access level does not permit any changes being made to the configuration of the NVG.

The fact that the Boot user password cannot be changed should not imply a security issue, because the Boot user can only access the VPN Gateway through a console connection using a serial cable, and the VPN Gateway presumably is set up in a server room with restricted access.
