Hi, I had forgotten my password and attempt to reset my fortigate firewall 81E v6.9.14. After hard reboot, i login as maintainer and password as bcpb(serialno). However from the putty cli, whatever i type are all garbage letters and told me login incorrect. Anything wrong with what i had done?
Hello
Garbage letters may mean that on of the following:
Hi @eliteseal,
I believe you are not able to login as maintainer? Are you using a console cable to connect? Please refer to https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Resetting-a-lost-admin-password/ta-p/19704...
After you logged in as maintainer, only commands you are allowed to run:
config system admin
edit admin
set password <newpassword>
end
