Hi,

ATP 500
The procedure for resetting the admin password does NOT work.
https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/it/articles/360012744371-Cosa-posso-fare-se-ho-dimenticato-la-mia-password-USG-FLEX-ATP-VPN-o-non-riesco-pi%C3%B9-ad-accedervi#two

ATKZ -g

ATGO

the password should be 1234 but on the next reboot entering these credentials nothing happens (on WEB GUI). It does not allow me to change the password like the first installation. Tried on EDGE and on CHROME.

How change admin password via Command Line Interface (CLI) ?
What to do?

THanks
