CLI deny access after password change

Hi ! After a password change on a FortiManager 400 with v2.80-build279 firmware, I cannot access anymore to the CLI with SSH. I obtain " Access denied" message after typing the new password. A blank password make the same. Do someone has already solve this problem ? Thanks.

a previous posting by " ghostshell" indicates: For recovery of a lost or forgotten admin password do the following steps: 1- From a PC, connect to Fortigate unit using Hyper Terminal. 2- at the console login prompt, type in " maintainer" for userid 3- Type in " bcpbFGTxxxxxxxxxxxxx" for password (After bcpbFGT put the S/N of the Fortigate) 4- after a successful login, now do changes to admin password

May be it works for a FortiGate unit but it seems not on a FortiManager ! Thanks.

Just to add something: You need to include the hyphen (" -" ) after the FGT
