Accelar 1200 Password Recovery 3

[tcaddoo]

I just purchased an Accelar 1200 switch. I am able to get a login prompt from the console port, but I do not know the password? Can someone point me to a document or provide the process for password recovery or reset on these switches.

Thanks,
Tom CAddoo

Passport 1000 Password Recovery

There is no known backdoor password for the Passport 1000 CPU modules. In order to access a CPU when the password is not known, you must factory default the box. For this reason, it is advisable to save the output from "show config" and save it to a PCMCIA card or your computer. The "show config" output will contain the passwords in plain-text format, and the config information in this file can be input back to the CPU after a factory default.

Connect to the console port on the 1297 or 1298 CPU module.
Reset the CPU.
Enter monitor mode.
Type: config sys set flags factorydefault true
Type: save config
Type: reset
Allow the CPU to completely boot to the banner login screen.
Login with the username 'rwa' and a password of 'rwa'
Type: config sys set flags factorydefault false
Type: save config

The Passport 1000 is now defaulted. If you have a previously saved file with the output from "show config," you may re-enter your config information from that fil

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Well, after many trials and tribulations, I finally got into the Accelar 1200. You have to go into monitor mode and type flags. At this point, it will walk you through 5 questions, one of which is whether to use factory defaults or not.

I could not get the command referenced above to work on its own.

Thanks for the help.
