Sophos UTM Manager 4.305-7: cannot login

Question

We recently moved Sophos UTM Manager 4.305 to another host and the network card was lost. Therefore the IP address does not work any more. 
 When I go to the console, I see the Login: prompt, but I don't know the username/password any more. 
 How do I reset the root password? 
 Or can I install a new copy of UTM Manager 4.305 with a default password, and restore a backup .abf file to the new install? 
 Where can I download Sophos UTM Manager 4.305-7? 
 Thanks 
 Richard.

Eventually I found the answer. 
 Log into the console, reset the root password by esc when booting and adding the line init=/bin/bash to the boot options. 
 Boot into Linux. 
 Reset the root password, save the settings before rebooting. 
 Once logged into Linux as root, type cc / RAW / system_password_reset to reset the admin password. 
 Now you can log into the web console using the new admin password.
