LigoDLB: How to reset the administrator’s password using LAN?

The only way to gain access to the web management system, if the administrator password is lost or forgotten, is to reset LigoDLB’s configuration to its default factory settings.
A computer running the Reset Tool and the LigoDLB device must be physically connected to the same LAN network using a switch.
The Reset Tool for DLB devices does not have all of the devices stored in the network discovery function.
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.

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

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%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar "%HOMEPATH%/Desktop/reset-tool.en.v1.2.45019.20121109.2143.jar
Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar "C:\Users\tester\Desktop\reset-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 reset-tool.ligowave.en.v1.2.51166.20150304.1257.

Note: the LigoDLB reset tool is not compatible with Deliberant APC devices.

Step 2. Run the executable file. The Reset Tool will launch:

ligo-dlb-reset-tool-main

Step 3. Once the Reset Tool launches, reboot the device (physically turn off and turn on the device) and wait until it automatically appears. Then select the device and press Reset:

ligo-dlb-reset-tool

When the device appears in the Reset Tool, the user is given 60 seconds to reset it. If the time is elapsed, the device boots up as usual.

Step 4. For a full device reset, the 4 last symbols of the serial number have to be entered.

ligo-dlb-reset-tool3

 Step 5. The serial number can be found on the device’s casing, the box, using the device discovery, and in the UI status menu.

ligo-dlb-reset-tool4

Step 6. Status: Resetting indicates that the DLB device is being reset to the default settings:

ligo-dlb-reset-tool5

Step 7. Status: Booting device indicates that the DLB device has been successfully reset to the default factory settings and that it is starting to boot:

ligo-dlb-reset-tool6

The default IP address of the DLB device is: 192.168.2.66.
The default login and password for the DLB device are admin and admin01 respectively.
