A Lost System Password ! 1

[monstermuncher]

Hi all,

What is the simplest way to reset the main system password ? - I have taken over a system from a disgruntled ex-employee,I do have a recent config file - is it possile to try and 'scam' the password out of the file, or is it not possible.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Greg.

Sorry, forgot to add - if I do have to perform a system reset - is it a straightforward process

Thanks.

You can use a program from snadboys called revalation do a search, not sure of the site name, just need to open offline and all will be revealed

experimentalot - you are an absolute legend !

Thanks very much for that I will give it a try.

Ok, That worked like a dream - thanks very much.

I have one other issue, I cannot get into the phone manager application as I do not know the administrator password, is it possible to reset this ? - I can now view the unit config via the wizard in online mode.

Again, your help is much apreciated and getting me out of a sticky situation fast

Just reinstall Manager (I assume you mean Manager not Phone Manager) and you will be off to the races.

Thanks Peter, so by doing this I wont cause any destruction to the main config, and the administrator user/pass is local to the management pc ?

Thanks

Just log in with a lower standard password and you can use snadboys to see the manager password.

monstermuncher correct, the Administrator login is local to the manager PC but the config is stored on the IPO itself, so yes you can fearlessly reinstall manager.

That being said I like big70's solution even better - less work
