FortiGate 200E admin accounts

[Oxobis]

We are using FortiGate 200E. We forgot the usernames with admin authority. I connected to the console with the maintainer account. I couldn't reset the password because I don't know the authorized user names. How can I find usernames with admin authority?

Hi,

I have the same problem. Running on OS7 but can't seem to reset admin password. Seems like admin user does not exist. can i see which user exists?

Thanks.

Hi @k3nnis 

If you have an older backup config file of FGT ,you open that file with an notepad++ and you can search if the admin user is present 

config system admin 

show
