Prerequisites

• A console port is available for device login.
• The device can be restarted.

Procedure

1. Log in to the device through the console port.

2. Restart the device.

3. Press Ctrl+B within 3 seconds after the message "Press Ctrl+B to enter Main Menu... 3" is displayed.

4. Enter the password to access the BootLoad menu.

   • For V800R011C10 and earlier versions, the default passwords for the BootLoad system and BIOS system are both WWW@HUAWEI. Using the default password has security risks. You are advised to set a new password after login and change it periodically. The two passwords are independent of each other, and you can change them separately in their menus.
   • For V800R012C00 and later versions, you are required to set a password upon the first login. You can press Ctrl+R to clear the existing password or run the set boot password command to change the existing password.
   • After an upgrade, the device still uses the original BIOS system menu password. You are advised to change this password and regularly update it.
   • A new password must be a string of no less than six characters with at least two of the following types of characters: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
