The auth show recovery command
The auth show recovery command shows whether recovery is on or off. In the on state, the admin password can be reset from the serial console for the App Connect Integration Appliance.
If the option is enabled, you can type resetpass for the username at the serial login and any non-empty password. Immediately after you login, you will be asked to verify physical access to the machine. To verify that you have physical access to the appliance, you will be asked to unplug and replug the Ethernet cable into the MGMT port of the appliance. This verifies that no one is accessing the serial console over a remote port replicator. If you do not have physical access to the appliance, you should set the recovery option to off using the auth set recovery command.
