3com Superstack II 9000 Password reset.

[ThaddeusW]

Hi all,
I have just purchased a 3com SSII 9000 off ebay for 20 bucks as a defective switch. Now when I power it up and connect the console I can see the switch boots fine and passes diagnostics 100%. Now some one here described a universal SS password and user name to reset the password, well it does not work on my SSII 9000. I have tries using the 3comcso/RIP000 user/pass but it is just invalid. I know it works partially because ports 1 and 8 switch traffic between them but 2-7 do not. I am no IT expert but for 20 bucks it was irresitable. Another question is I could Flash the rom over the serial line but I cannot find ANY software related tot he SSII 9000. If any one can offer any help I would greatly appreciate it! Also if you have SSII 9000 software please let me know!

Hi !

Still I got similar probs ...

I´ve an 3com Superstack II 9300 2-LX/10-SX (3C93011) SWITCH.

My Problem is: I could not login to reconfigure. My pal is walk out around the world and the 3com-support is over, because the machine was bought from 2001, and it´s to old since registration (just 2-year-free-support-help).
They gave me the offer to pay lot of money for help me here. - No thanks ! I haven´t !

Here are all my tried backdoors w/o effect (used serial-console):

adm/(none)
admin/synnet
admin/admin
admin/(blank)
admin/nopass
debug/synnet
write/synnet

... always "incorrect password" !
--------------
and:

root/(blank)
root/manger
security/(blank)
security/security
manager/manager
recover/recover
tech/tech
monitor/monitor
3comcso/RIP000
force/force

... always ".. is not a valid access level"

and here is NO reset-button on my machine ...

Maybe anyone got a quick idea ?! The delivered handbooks (the customer+admin handbooks) have no details for this case...

Does anyone have any idea or answer ?!

Greetings,
