    Hello, 

     This page shows how to do it via the serial port.  https://www.jordansphere.co.uk/reset-equallogic-password-via-cli/

     You will have to be on the active CM and very quick hitting CTRL-P   It might take a few attempts 

     Regards,

    Don

    @dwilliam62​ thank you this worked for me

    if that link died here are the instrutions.

    1) Console on the Equallogic and powercycle the device

    2) Press CTRL+P on boot

    3) Use the following commands:
    EQL> setenv RESETPASSWORD 1
    EQL> reload

    This should reset the password back to defaults =>
    Username: grpadmin
    Password: grpadmin

    4) Reset the password
    account select gpradmin passwd

    You will then be prompted for the new password
