How do I reset password on M10i?

[KJP]

Hi Guys,

     I have an M10i router in our test lab. Someone has assigned a password, but I have asked around for it, no one knows. How do I reset the password? Is there a way to enter into the recovery mode like a CIsco device?

Any other method would be welcome. I havent found any reference to this in the Juniper documentation on website.

Hi Kevin,

You can find here the method to recover the root password:

Thanks for the answer, however, I have one more query. Will the same procedure work for the M10i as well?

All the steps are the same, except may be the step 12.

I am used to do this instead of enter "recovery":

# cd /usr/libexec/ui

# ./recovery-mode
