Two easier ways to get that password outta there,
If its a SSII 3300 chances are it's still under warr. call 3com and tell em it's dead, if not tell em you need a pword cleared (you cant console in and clear these like you can cisco this is a feature I actually like)
They charge some nominal fee, as far as telling em it's dead they'll hold a cc# and ship you out a replacement.
You can also pop the thing open (it is annoying trust me) and get some skilled individual with a soldering iron to pull the batt off and resolder after a few minutes to clear the settings.
if ya screw up on that one your toast though
