To the best of my knowledge, the F5 does not revert to the local user db in the event tacacs or radius servers are offline. The only exception to this rule is the built in admin account.

That is the default behavior of the F5. If tacacs or radius have been configured for management authentication, the F5 will use those methods first. Whether the tacacs or radius servers are online or offline, the local admin (GUI) and root (cli) accounts can always be used to access the system.
To reset your root password, use the following article. You must have console access to the appliance.
