Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba controllers and ArubaOS versions.

To restore the admin password on the controller, follow these steps:

  1. Log in from the console.
  2. Use "password" as the user name and use "forgetme!" as the password.
  3. Enable the mode password as "enable".
  4. In configuration mode, enter the ‘mgmt-user admin root’ command to reset the admin password.
  5. Re-login using the new admin password.
  6. In configuration mode, enter the ‘enable secret’ command to reset the enable mode password.

For example:

User: password Password: forgetme! (aruba) >enable Password: enable (aruba) #configure terminal Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z (aruba) (config) #mgmt-user admin root Password: <new admin password> Re-Type password: <new admin password> (aruba) (config) #exit (aruba) #exit (aruba) >exit

User: admin Password: <new admin password> (aruba) >enable Password: enable (aruba) #configure terminal Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z (aruba) (config) #enable secret Password: <new enable password> Re-Type password: <new enable password> (aruba) (config) #write memory
