I have tried the password renew process but it will not progress past the Recovery password answer page, even after many retries.
Do an OS reinstall from the boot menu. Instructions are on pages 35-37 in the hardware manual.
This procedure will

- reset the network configuration to use DHCP with no bonding
- disable volume quota (which can be re-enabled from the volume settings wheel).
