Personally never seen an SMB appliance require the Expert password for a factory reset.
In any case, you can download the latest firmware to a USB drive, insert into the appliance and power cycle.
The appliance will be factory reset with the latest firmware.
This is the recommended approach if your factory firmware version is not the most recent.

Thanks PhoneBoy for your quick answer!

Sorry that I did not precise that the reset I am talking about is a remote once.

Just to give you an idea about the environment: 1450 is in a remote site and is managed using SmartConsole R80.x

So with all those elements, the question would be: is there any possibility to reset the Expert password using the Clish or from the SmartConsol?

Hi, thanks for your answer, yes i did but i was also not able to create a scp user on the GW.

Anyway I set the GW on Factory defaults and now i could not set up the SIC communication between the Management Server and the GW

crazy

I did option 3 and 5 from that sk before and both worked fine. SIC is totally different issue now...did you make sure CPD process is running? Can you ping back and forth?

no, both sites not able to ping the other. I need to explain, this GW is an remote GW (not in a cluster) and actual not in the company network. It will use a dynamic address and should get all policys from the Management Server. Actual i am rebooting the GW

Well, until at least ping works, no point debugging CPD process.

Have you done a tcpdump on the management and/or the device to see what's happening when you click on the "Test SIC Status" button?
