New page
* Connect to the serial console of the FortiGate unit (9600-1-1)

* Boot up the FortiGate unit

* as username, enter <code>maintainer</code>

* as password, enter <code>bcpb + SerialNo</code>

* E.g. if the SerialNo is <code>FG100ETK18036180</code>, the password is <code>bcpbFG100ETK18036180</code>

* This has to be done within 14 seconds after the logon prompt appears



* Once logged in, you can either

** execute the command <code>execute factory reset</code> to set the unit to factory defaults, afterwards the password for the ''admin'' user will be empty.

** if you want to keep the config, change the ''admin'' user's password using the command set

 # config system admin

 edit admin

 set password
