    Hi Yen,

     

    Hope youre doing good.

     

    Please check the following technical documentation and refer the section "Recovering the Root Password for Junos OS Evolved" - https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/recovering-root-password.html#jd0e563

    Yes correct. There is no option to boot into single mode.

    Hi Yen,

     

    No single user mode means most probably you have marked your console as insecure from the configuration.

     

    Do you have the device old RSI or configuration?

    If yes, Check for the following command:-

    set system ports console insecure

     

    Ref:- https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/security-securing-console-port-configuring.html

     

    If so you wont be able to recover the same using console boot and the only option to recover is re-install the OS using USB.

    You may have to re-image the box as there is no option to recover the root password in this case. Please refer the following link for the same: https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB30944&actp=METADATA

    Yen,

     

    What Junos code are you on?

     

    Per the PR suggested up here, PR1381653, the codes this is fixed in are: 

    Release junos
    18.2R3 x
    18.3R2 x
    18.3R3 x
    18.4R2 x
    17.4R3 x
    19.1R2 x
    19.2R1 x

     

    Reinstalling the OS would do the trick.

    Cheers

    Pooja
