The console cable is connected to an incorrect serial port (the serial port in use is not the one set
on the terminal).
The properties of the terminal are incorrect. You must configure the console terminal as follows:
set Bits per second to 9600, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, Flow control to None,
and Terminal Emulation to VT100.
The console cable fails.

Garbled terminal display
If terminal display is garbled, To solve this problem:

5 or 6, the console terminal will display garbled characters.
2.

cause the configuration terminal to display garbled characters.

Dealing with password loss
CAUTION:
Dealing with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss from BootWare menus is
disruptive.
How to deal with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss depends on the
state of password recovery capability (see
user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus.
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration
•
without authentication and configure new passwords.
•
If password recovery capability is disabled, a console user must restore the factory-default
configuration before configuring new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes
the main and backup next-startup configuration files.
To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
