Direct access to the bootstrap loader should bypass any access restrictions configured on the box. However, it sounds like the device is not dropping into single-user mode.
I would suggest removing and wiping the CF card. Then boot from alternative media (USB) and snapshot on to the blank card.

Maybe you're not doing anything wrong and someone tweaked the routers and marked the console as insecure, a previous owner maybe? http://superuser.com/questions/85536/securing-freebsd-in-single-user-mode http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot&sektion=8 HTH.

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.
