Hi sure


Please find screenshot...


@Mehmet - I checked that in daytime and didn't found anything specific
about that version. Sorry don't have it handy with me right now but will
check exact version again in morning and will update you.

Hello everyone!


Greetings of the day.


I am kind of (badly) stuck with multiple routers and not able to recover
the root password. It's Juniper M7i. I have followed the Juniper support
page as given here -

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/authentication-root-password-recovering.htmland
strange enough that it worked with one of routers I have but failed on
rest all.


I am getting stuck on Step #12. As I give "boot -s" to get into single
user
mode of BSD, system next asks me for root password and hence I am out of
luck to get into "recovery mode". I tried pressing enter on that prompt as
well but no luck. I am connecting to router via console and do have
physical access to router(s).


Was wondering if someone has seen similar issues and could guide on what I
am doing wrong? Most of other help pages I have seen on net have same
exact
steps as given on that page.




Thanks.
