Hi all,
I know that device is old but I would like to know if there is a way to reset the admin password of a FortiWifi 60A.
It looks like the recovery procedure dont work...
username: maintainer
password: bcpb + serial number Anyone have an another clue ?
Thanks you very much in advance for your answer!

I believe the password is case sensitive. Are you sure you typed exactly what you see on the label like "bcpbFTG60Axxxxxxxx"? That's the only way I know for the password recovery.
Few other things to check with using maintainer:
1. Ensure you're logging in via console and not via SSH/network
2. Power cycle the device (don't do a soft reboot) and make sure you use maintainer within ~20seconds of the login prompt showing up.
If it is not a production firewall and you have a backup, you can put the configuration through a USB and change the admin password.
