Step2

When the BootWare main menu appears again, select 0 to reboot the system.

System is rebooting now.

System start booting...

Booting Normal Extend BootWare....

Step3

Set a new password in system view after the system reboots.

system-view

[H3C] user-interface console 0

[H3C-ui-console0] authentication-mode password

[H3C-ui-console0] set authentication password simple 123456

The output shows that the console port uses password authentication, and the password is set to 123456
and stored in plain text.
When you set the password by using the set authentication password { cipher | simple } password

command, follow these guidelines.

If the cipher keyword is specified, the password is stored in cipher text. You cannot view the
password by using the display current-configuration command.

If the simple keyword is specified, the password is stored in plain text. You can use the display
current-configuration command to view the password in the current configuration.

NOTE:

After the router reboots, the system runs with the initial default configuration, but the previous
configuration file is still stored in the storage medium. To restore the previous configuration, use the
display saved-configuration command to display the configuration, and then copy and execute the

configuration.

If the password is stored in plain text, you can use the display current-configuration command to view
the password in the current configuration. If the password 123456 is set with the set authentication
password cipher command, the password is stored in cipher text.

Step4

Save the new password.

[H3C] save

NOTE:

To save the new password, execute the save command after modifying the user password.

H3C recommends saving the modification as the default configuration file.

Super password loss

The super password enables you to switch between four super levels. In the case of super password loss,

you cannot perform higher level operations.
