- hooleylistCirrostratusLTM's default baud rate is 19200, but it may have been changed on the unit you're working with. Which platform is this on? For a newer 1600, 2600, 3900, 6900, 8900, etc, here are some steps you can try to reset the baud rate to 19,200:
- insert12_38638Nimbostratusthanks Aaron , I am able to get into box as it required to reset baud rate via LCD menue , I reset the root account & for admin account by using tmsh modify auth user admin prompt-for-password command I get following error on command line
- hwidjaja_37598AltostratusCan you try to set REMOTEUSER environment variable? eg:

Thanks hum , export REMOTEUSER=root make me able to change admin password but once changed & tried to save tmsh sys config I got below error
- hooleylistCirrostratusI'm guessing there is something significantly wrong with this unit. As a first step, what error do you get when running a 'b load'?
- hooleylistCirrostratusDo you have a valid license on the unit? You can check for it under /config/bigip.license. You can also try reactivating it in the GUI under System | License.

well yes , license is not active , as i m not able to get in admin account so thinking how can reactive bigip license without dossier currently i am stuck on root
@anng(LICENSE EXPIRED)(tmos) save sys config
- hooleylistCirrostratusYou can log in as root or any other user which has advanced (bash) shell access and then run 'get_dossier -b "REG_KEY"'. Copy the output and activate the license on license.f5.com.
- hooleylistCirrostratusNice work in figuring this out.
