Changing the Password of a Fit AP in the Uboot View
A Fit AP supports only one local user account, which can be a console, Telnet, or SSH account. If the password of a Fit AP is lost and the AP has not joined an AC, enter the Uboot view and recover the default user name and password.
- You must restart the device to enter the Uboot view, which results in service interruption. Back up service configuration and perform this operation in off-peak hours.
- Do not power off the device during the operation.
- Use a serial cable to connect a PC to the device and restart the device. When the message "Press f or F to stop Auto-Boot" is displayed, press F and enter the password to enter the Uboot view.
For details on how to connect a PC to the device with a serial cable, see Logging In to a Device Through the Console Port.
The BootROM password may vary in different software versions. For details, see Default User Names and Passwords for WLAN ACs and APs.
- Run the defaultuser command to recover the default user name and password.
