RESET Fortinet 60D password

HERE IS HOW YOU CRACK INTO A 60D if you forget the password

Connect your computer to the firewall with a console cable to the console port. ( a blue cisco one will work too)

  1. Find the serial number of your firewall.  
  2. type it into notepad (or something that you can copy/paste from) and prefix it with
    bcpb so it looks like "bcpbSERIAL" (bcpbFWF60D4Q23112312)
  3. COPY that password, you'll only have 15 seconds to type in.  Faster to paste.
  4. Launch whatever terminal program you like.  We'll assume putty and ensure you can console to the firewall.  (9600 baud 8,n,1)
  5. Power cycle the Firewall
  6. It will boot up, wait for the Firewall name and login prompt to appear.
  7. Enter the Username as maintainer
  8. Enter the Password = bcpbSERIAL number of firewall in UPPERCASE
  9. You should now be logged into the firewall
Once you are logged in you can change the password this way:

config system admin
edit admin
set password <psswrd>
end


Perhaps you want to reset the whole firewall back to DEFAULT?

exec factoryreset

This will put your device back to factory.

The logon is usually "ADMIN" with no password, just press enter.

Default IP is 192.168.1.99 (usually)  basically check your gateway if the system dishes out a DHCP address.
