FTD Root access password ?

[ida71]

I have used Admin password to login to CLI on FTD's since they were built & can access expert mode. But just tried to run an upgrade readyness check at CLi & it says I don't have privilege so tried sudo to root & none of the passwords I have configured work, including the default one.

I changed the admin account password when the box was built, but never added a separate root password, as I don't recall it being in the build docs.

Any ideas ?

Hi Marvin,

During initial setup, I set an admin password. But have never needed sudo access until now, so never tested it.

I can login & get to expert mode. But it won't accept the admin password for sudo.
