Recovering the administrator password
If the administrator password has been lost, you can reset the administrator password to the factory
default that shipped on the tag with the Onboard Administrator module. The Onboard Administrator
resets a lost password to Lost Password mode. To recover the password and reset the administrator
password to the factory default:
IMPORTANT: The password is recovered from the Monarch OA.
1. Connect a computer to the serial port of the active Onboard Administrator using a null-modem
cable.

open HyperTerminal (in Microsoft Windows) or a suitable terminal window (in Linux).
3. Connect to the active Onboard Administrator.
