JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos (2024) — Question 55

You need to recover the root password on a Junos router without losing the current configuration settings.
Which three statements describe what you should perform in this scenario? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Enter and commit the new root password.
• B. Load the factory-default configuration.
• C. Hit the space bar and enter recovery when prompted.
• D. Upgrade the Junos OS to the latest version.
• E. Use a console connection to reboot the device.

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

The correct actions to recover the root password involve using a console connection to reboot the device (E), followed by selecting recovery and then entering the new password (A). Pressing the space bar and choosing recovery allows access to the necessary options without losing configuration. Options B and D are incorrect because restoring factory settings would erase the current configuration, and upgrading the OS does not assist in password recovery.
