Edgerouter Lost Password : r/Ubiquiti (reddit.com)

Boot EdgeRouter into single-user mode or boot alternative image | Ubiquiti Community

Connect-up to the serial interface and reboot the device. During the early boot process press the Esc key repeatedly until you see the u-boot prompt (there may be a more elegant way to do this, but this approach is effective), which will look something like Octeon ubnt_e300(ram)# (note that the e300 is model specific). 

printenv

note: all commands required a space at end of line

Note the semicolon; this breaks the boot process down into two stages, first is loading the kernel, and the next is actually booting the system. The second command contains the kernel command line, which will require modification before we boot.

fatload usb 0 $(loadaddr) vmlinux.64 

Then enter the bootoctlinux command but append single init=/bin/bash to the end of the line

cat /config/config.boot ( version 1.0.1 ) to find settings or vi to edit password in plaintext.

Use the fortigate create CSR.

downloaded the fortigategenerated.csr

submitt the CSR contents to (re)key the certificate

Once ready download the files from GoDaddy files (crt, pem, and gd.crt)

ssh into fortigate navigate to

config vpn certificate local and then find the csr certificate

and save encrypted private key section of the cert to a file

openssl pkcs12 -export -in fromgodaddy.crt -inkey savedencryptedprivate.key -out certificate.pfx – or use an online sslcertificate converter

some quick notes post fix:

On Fortigate run:

execute switch-controller get-conn-status <FortiSwitch_serial_number>

execute switch-controller diagnose-connection <Fortiswitch_serial_number>

on Fortiswitch run:

config system global

set switch-mgmt-mode fortilink

end

plugin console cable with known port open in Putty.

Eject the CF and copy firmware and rommon to it, or get it on the device via USB or TFTP etc.

Power on and “Ctrl+( right click putty > special command > break ) ” – repeat until

rommon 1 > confreg 0x2142


You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect
rommon 2 > reset

upgrade rom-monitor file flash0:\"file name"

after rommon upgraded del flash0:/”all firmware but the newest bin” and reload

config t

config-register 0x2102

Download Forticlient https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/win/vpnagent

Create a new folder and download Forticlient https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/win/vpnagent

Create a Forticlient.reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\Sslvpn\Tunnels\FortigateSSLVPN]

“Description”=”Fortigate SSLVPN”

“Server”=”vpn.address.com:port”

“promptusername”=dword:00000001

“promptcertificate”=dword:00000000

“DATA3″=hex(7):00,00

“ServerCert”=”0”

“sso_enabled”=dword:00000000

Create an install.bat file:

“%~dp0FortiClientVPNSetup*” /Quiet /Passive /NoRestart

reg import “%~dp0Forticlient.reg”

Run the install.bat

After getting to a machine with openssl installed ( I used a Ubuntu Server for this purpose )

Generate a CSR and fill in the details asked:

jrelhak@ubuntu-server-jr:~$ openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout PRIVATEKEY.key -out MYCSR.csr

Upload the CSR to the CA ( I used GoDaddy in this case): save the pem and crt bundle file back to the original CSR machine and convert the pem and key with GD bundle into a pfx. You’ll be asked for the previously set private key password and to set a PFX password:

jrelhak@ubuntu-server-jr:~$ openssl pkcs12 -export -out sslvpn.pfx -inkey PRIVATEKEY.key -in 85bff5d78f00ce1.pem -certfile gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
Enter pass phrase for PRIVATEKEY.key:
Enter Export Password:
Verifying – Enter Export Password:
jrelhak@ubuntu-server-jr:

Verify PFX was created:

jrelhak@ubuntu-server-jr:~$ ls
85bff5d78f00ce1.crt 85bff5d78f00ce1.pem gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt MYCSR.csr PRIVATEKEY.key sslvpn.pfx

Upload the pfx to the Fortigate as a local certificate and enter the Export password.

From the CLI you can see the certificates under “config vpn certificate local”
