Configuring Single-User Mode for Password Recovery

C

During a password recovery process on a Juniper device, after configuring the system to boot into single-user mode, the next step is to reset the root password.

To provide a detailed explanation, here are the steps for resetting the root password in single-user mode on a Juniper device:

1. Connect to the console of the Juniper device.
2. Power on or restart the device, and press the space bar to interrupt the boot process.
3. At the boot prompt, enter the boot command to start the device in single-user mode. For example, type:

   Copy code
   boot -s 

4. Press Enter to start the boot process.
5. Once the device is booted into single-user mode, the root user will have access to a command prompt.
6. At the command prompt, use the passwd command to change the root password. For example, type:

   Copy code
   passwd root 

   The command will prompt you to enter a new password and then confirm it.
7. Once you have successfully changed the root password, you can reboot the device and log in with the new password.

So, option A (Reset the root password) is the correct answer for the question.
