Set an email address for password recovery

Set an email address and SMTP server in the event that the admin password is forgotten or lost. A temporary password is sent to the address when an administrator enters Ctrl+P at the CLI logon prompt.

To set an email address and SMTP server:

set account email --address <email_address>
set account smtp --host <location> --port <port>
--user <name>

To test the settings use:

send test_email

When no email address is set, Ctrl+P prompts to confirm that a password reset is wanted. When confirmed (yes), a security code is displayed. Write it down. To get a temporary password, contact Technical Support and provide the security code.
