Lost user/password

[Mug]

Misplaced paper with notes on changed sign in user/password. Trying to follow this guide for ISY994i using Java/Admin Console:

 

4.1.2.1 Resetting Userid/Password
Before you proceed with the procedure below, you will need to retrieve the MAC address of the
device. Refer to 4.4.1 for locating the MAC address.  Note: I located MAC address in my Comcast router
To reset your userid and password please follow the steps as outlined below:
• Disconnect PLM from the ISY. Note: I powered down ISY other area of manual states not to unplug/plug PLM into ISY while powered
• Telnet to ISY Question does this mean disconnect from router, makes no sense?
• Enter MAC address as both the userid and password at login prompt  Note: can't do that while powered down or disconnected from router so left router connected. Entered MAC address at prompt = failed
• Wait 45 seconds (or until you see "Please connect PLM message")  Note: due to failed msg never occurred.
• Plug PLM back in  Note: other area of manual states not to unplug/plug PLM into ISY while ISY powered
• Log in again using admin/admin
Note: There is a timeout of 5 minutes for the PLM to get plugged back in. If timed out, the userid
and password are not reset.

 

Confusing, so do I:

1. Leave ISY on while disconnecting the PLM?

2. Leave ISY connected to router? [seems logical]

3. Enter MAC in userid & password fields. If it fails?

4. Wait for PLM connect msg and connect PLY while ISY powered on?

5. Log in admin/admin

6. Never forget useid/password again!

 

Note; I have a backup copy of the ISY settings/programming I've done.

 

Thank you,

MUG

Try this. Only needs the reset button pushed on the ISY99i/ISY994i

Telnet and use RL is actually very easy to do..  just follow the instructions and no need to mess with cables or reset button.

Brian H - Worked like a charm.

Jon.. Telnet stated not a command but since Brian's worked I'm back in business.

Thanks to both of you.
