IP Address and Password Recovery

If you get locked out of your Iron Pi or become unable to locate it on the network, the Iron Pi recovery agent can help you regain access.

Resetting the IP Address

To set the Iron Pi back to its original static IP address of 192.168.1.220, press and hold the Connect button for 5 seconds. The User 2 LED will blink orange 3 times when the network settings are being changed internally. When the IP address has been set to 192.168.1.220, the User 2 LED will blink green 3 times. If the recovery agent is unable to set the Iron Pi's IP address, the User 2 LED will blink red 3 times.

Resetting the Password and Enabling SSH

To reset the Iron Pi's password and enable SSH, continue holding the Connect button for 5 additional seconds after resetting the IP address as described above. The User 2 LED will blink orange 4 times to indicate the password is being reset and SSH is being enabled. The SSH password will be set to the access code printed on the enclosure above the Power LED, and SSH access will be enabled. If the operation is successful, the User 2 LED will blink green 4 times, and if there is an error the User 2 LED will blink red 4 times.

The process above resets the SSH password but not the password used to access the Clarity Gateway web interface. To reset that password, just go to the web interface, click "Forgot Password", and follow the instructions.
