Reset Admin & Root users for SAN SW Brocade switch 8/24 blade

[owahid]

Hello

I have two SAN SW Brocade switch 8/24 blade that was part of an old fabric , after replacing them with two new san sw (16 G) I tryied to login to this old sw but can not , currently they are standalone "not in fabric " and not production also , So 

My question :

Can I make reset all users exist in this sws?

If can not , can I do a factory reset and just reconfigure every thing from scratch ?will that affect installed FOS or firmeware or just reset the config exist in the sw inclouded the local users admin,root , user  ???

Hi @owahid ,

You can do the factory reset on the old switch which is not in use/production. That will not impact the existing FOS. Just the local configurations and users/admins will be reset.

You must have 'securityadmin' privileges/credentials handy for factory reset or resetting all other users (If you don't have, you may have to contact the vendor to get the credentials working). Please let me know if you want to know more details about the procedure.

Hi Owahid

Here are the steps to change the account's root, user, and factory passwords by using SSH.
On the first login, you will be prompted to set a new password. With entering you can start the process by pressing Ctrl-C you can end the process. At the next login, you will be asked again to change the password.

Default passwords are:
root:fibranne / password
admin: password
user: password

Log in to the switch by using SSH:

# ssh <your-ipaddress>
log in as root
root@<your-ipaddress>'s password:

for the user - root
Changing password for root

Enter old password:
Enter a new password:
Re-type new password:

for the user-admin
Changing password for admin
Enter a new password:
Re-type new password:

for user-user
Changing password for user
Enter a new password:
Re-type new password:

Mahesh.
