Passwords

The following information is used for setting and restoring the passwords for the Didactum systems.

The settings of the Didactum monitoring systems can be stored in the form of a backup file. This backup file can be uploaded to restore your system.

Retrieve the backup file as follows:

Main Menu >> Export >> Download current settings.

The File is stored in the file named: "didactumsettings.zer”.

To restore the settings of the Didactum monitoring system, copy the file "didactumsettings.zer" in the root directory of a USB stick drive as shown above. The name of the file must not be changed!

  • Insert the USB stick into the USB socket below the Ethernet interface.
  • The update process is signaled by the flashing LED "ERROR".
  • After restoring the LED "status" begins to blink with increased frequency.
  • When finished you simply remove the USB flash drive and initiate the reboot of the Didactum monitoring system.

Recovery of the password

In some cases, such as the password of the Didactum monitoring appliance is lost or unknown, it may be helpful to restore the password identifier.

In this case the "Guest" account can be restored with all access rights.

You will then need to copy the file named: "resetuser.zer" into the root directory of a USB stick.

  • The name of the file cannot be changed.
  • Insert the USB stick into the USB socket located below the Ethernet interface and wait.
  • The update process is signaled by the flashing LED "ERROR".
  • After restoring the LED "status" begins to blink with increased frequency.
  • When finished, you simply remove the USB flash drive and initiate the reboot of the Didactum monitoring system.

You can now log in as "Guest" and have full access back again.
