Creating local users when using Remote Authentication and unavailable login

The Remote Authentication is unavailable, so I can't login. How to enable root login as local mode?

Hi Yo_D1 ,

Try to Reset it from Single user mode during booting up.

Silly question, but did you try to update the password via TMSH?

- tmsh modify auth password root

- tmsh save sys config

Saw your logged in screenshot, but didnt realize you were in single user mode. My bad! Yeah, I dont think all of the correct mounting is done at that point to support TMSH commands. As Paulius suggested, this final target link (https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K35811337) may be what you are after here.
