Solution
This article explains how to login to a FAP-320C if a user forgets the AP login password.
Solution
The FortiAP 320C does not have a reset button.
The admin password can be reset to the default value via wtp-profile on the FortiGate that manages the FortiAP 320C.
In the above example, ’resetpwd’ is the name of wtp-profile that has been applied to the FortiAP 320C on the FortiGate. The profile is edited to change the ‘login-passwd-change’ parameter to default and save the changes. New change will be pushed to the FortiAP 320C that would help the user to login to the FortiAP with default credentials via GUI or telnet session.
