Direct access to the bootstrap loader should bypass any access
restrictions configured on the box. However, it sounds like the device
is not dropping into single-user mode.
I would suggest removing and wiping the CF card. Then boot from
alternative media (USB) and snapshot on to the blank card.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hello everyone!
Greetings of the day.
I am kind of (badly) stuck with multiple routers and not able to recover
the root password. It's Juniper M7i. I have followed the Juniper support
page as given here -
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/authentication-root-password-recovering.htmland
strange enough that it worked with one of routers I have but failed on
rest all.
I am getting stuck on Step #12. As I give "boot -s" to get into single user
mode of BSD, system next asks me for root password and hence I am out of
luck to get into "recovery mode". I tried pressing enter on that prompt as
well but no luck. I am connecting to router via console and do have
physical access to router(s).
Was wondering if someone has seen similar issues and could guide on what I
am doing wrong? Most of other help pages I have seen on net have same exact
steps as given on that page.
Thanks.
