Hi @jw708,
If you have the latest backup configuration file "startup-config.conf", search for the following CLI.
username admin encrypted-password $4$encryptedpasswordencryptedpassword$ user-type admin

Then set a new password and replace the following CLI with the original one.
username admin password yournewpassword user-type admin
In this example, 12345678 is the temporal password.

Save and rename startup-config-back.conf. Upload this configuration file to device and apply it.
Here is the procedure.
