2. During the 30 seconds, perform a hard reset on the unit while the it is still in password recovery mode by switching it off, waiting a few seconds, and switching it on again.
3. When the unit has rebooted following the hard reset enter a new password for the "admin" user account.
4. Enter enable to leave password recovery enabled, or enter disable to turn it off. You are now logged in as the default "admin" user.
