The only way to gain access to the web management system, if the administrator password is lost or forgotten, is to reset the APC’s configuration to its default factory settings.
A computer running the Reset Tool and the APC device must be physically connected to the same LAN network using a switch.

Follow these steps to run the Deliberant Reset Tool and to reset the device to its default factory settings:

The Java package must be installed on the operating system for the Reset Tool to run.
The Reset Tool must be running with administrative privileges enabled.

Linux OS

The package should be installed by running the following command (Ubuntu/Debian version):

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Afterwards, click the right mouse button on the Reset Tool file and select Open with Sun Java 6 Runtime from the context menu.

Windows 7 OS

A shortcut with the following data must be created on the Windows 7 operating system:

General path: %ProgramFiles%Javajre6binjava.exe" -jar "%HOMEPATH%/Desktop/reset-tool.en.v1.2.45019.20121109.2143.jar
Example: "C:Program Files (x86)Javajre7binjava.exe" -jar "C:UserstesterDesktopreset-tool.en.v1.2.45019.20121109.2143.jar
reset-admin

Once the shortcut is created, it must be executed with administrative privileges enabled by right-clicking on it and selecting the option Run as Administrator from the context menu.

Step 1. Download the Reset Tool to your computer from this link.

Step 8. Physically turn off and then turn on the device once more.

Step 9. The APC device will reboot and reset to its default settings:
