Nortel Switch - Password Recovery
Hey Hey,
I very seldom ask questions on here, but I've exhausted all other avenues. I'm looking for the Password Recovery Procedure for a Nortel Switch. I realize you can contact Nortel and they'll either send someone, or possibly give you the procedure, however this costs a great deal of money. In our demo lab, our routers and switches are all open to us. Our choice of Nortel or Cisco, we're free to do what we want. Someone went into one of our Nortels (former lab backbone switch) and changed the password. Our profs have the procedure for the Routers, however not for the Switches and will have to eventually contact Nortel. I can pull of some bonus marks in class if I reset the password. Anyways if anyone can be of help that'd be great. Either in here or in PM it's all good :)
Peace.
450-24T / SW 3.1.0.22 / FW 1.47
I was wondering if anyone had figured out how to reset a 450-24t running SW 3.1.x. I was given a few of these (Local hospital upgrading their equipment) and it seems as though they weren't factory reset. I've tried the NetICs and ctrl-c methods to no avail. Interestingly enough I do have rw SNMP access, but when I uploaded the config to my tftp server it looked like it was in a binary format. I ran strings on it, and it only saw a bunch of stuff for the ports. I also did a snmpwalk, but none of the string OIDs came up with anything helpful, just some MAC Addresses.
Anything else I'm missing? They all have cascade ports installed, I was hoping to find one switch that had been reset but so far no dice.
Thanks in advance
