CLI command for maintainer account

Maintainer access is also supported on serial port terminals. You can login with ‘maintainer’ account shortly after FortiTester boots. The password would be bcpb plus the serial number of the FortiTester. Example: bcpbFTS4KET618000005. After a short period of time, you will no longer be able to login with maintainer account. You might want to reboot FortiTester to try again.

The Serial Number can be found at Dashboard > Serial Number.

You can reset the password of admin account with the maintainer's login with

config system setting

set admin-password <passwd>

end

If the maintainer login is no longer needed, you are free to disable it by login ssh/telnet terminal with any administration account, by using the following command:

config system setting

set admin-maintainer disable

end
