To change the password. If you want to recover, you need to boot the NCS image and then do a password recovery.

Hello,
You can change Prime Infrastructure application root user or FTP user password. To recover the passwords and regain access to Prime Infrastructure, follow these steps:
Note If you are a Linux user, you must be the admin user to run the command.
Step 1 Log in to Prime Infrastructure command-line interface as an admin user.
Step 2 Enter the following command:
ncs password root password password
Where password is the root user login password. You can enter a password not exceeding 80 characters.
Example of the command usage:
ncs-appliance/admin# ncs password root password
CompilerOracle: exclude org/snmp4j/Snmp.send
Loading USER - root
Validating new password..
Resetting password ..
Resetting password COMPLETED.
EXECUTION STATUS : Success
ncs-appliance/admin#
You must now be able to login to Prime Infrastructure web interface with the new root password.

I have a Cisco NCS57C148Q6SYS7C1 that I don't have the password to. I'm using a hp elite book to console into. The laptop has no physical break button so I used the fn+r command but it didn't work. I tried a Panasonic Toughbook CF-35, still no luck! I also used putty break signals with no success to password recover it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
