R81.20 grub password after upgrade from R80.40

[stefanodg]

Hello,

i've done an upgrade on a open server VMware of the MDS Log Server to R81.20, the old version was the R80.40.

The server is stuck on boot loop.

I'm trying to enter in Maintenance Mode but i don't know what is the Grub Password and the Server doesn't start so i can't change the Grub Password by command line.

I tried with the Expert Password but it isn't.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks you all.

Regards

Thats strange, unless someone had changed it before, its always same as expert password.

You may have to boot off of a Linux ISO, mount the filesystem, and fix it that way (remove/change the password).

Hello, 

Thanks for your question. 

In R81.20, Check Point has added a new grub-password setting that should be configured from Clish. 

For more information, please review:

You cannot access the grub until this password is set. 

The password is not anymore the expert's. 

Best regards,

Ohad.
