How to reset password for Aruba Controller

To restore the admin password on the controller, follow these steps:
  1. Log in from the console.
  2. Use "password" as the user name and use "forgetme!" as the password.
  3. Enable the mode password as "enable".
  4. In configuration mode, enter the ‘mgmt-user admin root’ command to reset the admin password.
  5. Re-login using the new admin password.
  6. In configuration mode, enter the ‘enable secret’ command to reset the enable mode password.
 For example: 

 User: password
Password: forgetme!
(aruba) >enable
Password: enable
(aruba) #configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(aruba) (config) #mgmt-user admin root
Password: <new admin password>
Re-Type password: <new admin password>
(aruba) (config) #exit
(aruba) #exit
(aruba) >exit

Below are the steps to reset the enable mode password from the controller CLI.

User: admin
Password: <new admin password>
(aruba) >enable
Password: enable
(aruba) #configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(aruba) (config) #enable secret
Password: <new enable password>
Re-Type password: <new enable password>
(aruba) (config) #write memory
