Restore Controller Default Password

This procedure is used to restore the controller default password.

Restore to Factory Settings


  • Performing a factory reset of the controller should be considered very carefully.
    The reset erases everything: User data files, the application, the controller IP address, any retain variables, passwords, shared directory settings, and all log files.

This restore is applicable to all controllers.

See Reset the Controller to Factory Settings for more information.

Restore using SSH


  • This section only applies to AKD PDMM and PCMM.

  • Restore the /mount/flash/etc directory using these shell commands:

    This method should be used if logging in via SSH is possible. 

    # rm -r /mount/flash/etc
# shutdown

    Result: The controller loads the default settings upon restarting.
