From: RG on 8 Feb 2010 21:47 So, I bought myself fortigate 50b from on ebay. Little did I know they have no password. Would you know hardware resest it?

Would you know hardware resest it? To password recovery a Fortinet, console in (uses same pinout as Cisco, Juniper, Sun, etc). Login as 'maintainer'. Password of 'bcpb' followed by the full serial # of the box, matching case (ie. FGT in upper case, and any hardware rev letter) And then to make sure the config is totally cleared out execute factoryreset from the CLI.
From: RG on 9 Feb 2010 00:33 Thanks for your time. I am at a loss. This is what I have done... 1. I connected dc9pin to my computer and rj45 end to fortigate 2. Through termina session I got user name prompt 3. I entered maintainer for user name. 4. I entered bcpbFGT50B3G07518259 for password 5. The response was it didn't like the credentials. Perhaps you can see a problem with a password or username.

There is a timelimit, maybe make sure to have the password in the paste buffer ready to send in? Otherwise, make sure you don't typo it, sometimes delete/backspace messes up things even if the characters get rubbed out on the screen.

k.. Now it worked for me. I don't know why I had to reboot the device while in session and it worked for me. Thanks for the help.
