ICX 7125 cannot be logged in after a power outage

I can't get to the CLI screen, I am prompted for a username and password, but I don't have one. auto approval is enabled.The system has been reset.

Hi Shawn,

If the system has been reset, did you tried the default credentials super/sp-admin ?

Cheers

Otherwise, you have to do a password recovery procedure:

 - connect to the console switch

 - boot up

 - stop the boot process at the begin by press 'b' key

 - enter 'no password' and 'boot'

 - the switch will start normally and you will have access to the CLI

 - change the password

 - and don't forget to do a 'write mem' 😉

Hope this will help

@vincent_felisaz Thanks Vince, I tried "no password", unfortunately it still asked me to provide a username and password.

[shawn_feng]

It's done! I used Vince's method:
--type "no password"
-- "boot"
-- "ena"
-- "conf t"
-- "username admin password 123456789"
-- "aaa authentication web default local"
This adds the username and password.
