sshd_config restore?

Hi,

 

What are the options that I have if I accidentally locked myself out by editing sshd_config file? I am not able to connect via SSH, I get a connection closed error...

 

Restoring from a previous archive did not work...

    Hi,

     

    Restoring an archive will not help. This restores the configuration of you BIG-IP. For example nodes, pools and virtual servers within a LTM configuration.

     

    Have you tried to connect to the console and restore the sshd_config file from there?

     

    Regards, Martijn.
