Hi,  
I’m using Digi port server TS 16. Is there a way I can use password recovery without setting the entire configuration to factory default

Thanks,

Hi,

I think there is no other way to do password recovery without resetting to factory defaults.

You can do “Backup” to retain the settings and then “Restore” the device configurations.

Regards!
