BCM50 Password Help

[barrywebb]

I hoping I'm not breaking any of the forum rules but I'm trying to establish the password parameters for a BCM50 system.

I have taken a BCM50 system out of service and I wanted to replace the system password with something more generic. Well, I don't know how to explain this beyond brain melt, but I can't remember the new password for the life of me. The old password was in the form of UpperCase-UpperCase-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-LowerCase-ExclamationMark

I initially tried using a simple password but it didn't meet the requirements. Eventually I found one that worked but, as I already said, my mind's a blank.

I know that Avaya/Nortel could access the system for a fee but the system is not worth the time and expense.

All I'm looking for is minimum length, alpha requirements if any (upper/lower case), numeric requirement if any and any special character requirement.

Hopefully someone will have pity on a poor empty headed fool!

Thanks
Barry

In the future it's best to post bcm troubles in the bcm forum not norstar.

If none of the default username/password accounts work then you will need to perform a level one reset to the 50 to restore access.

Silly question, but make sure that you can ping the BCM first and also try accessing the system via the browser in case you have a problem with Element Manager or find that you have a service within the BCM that is preventing you from accessing it.

It's also worthwhile rebooting it again. The BCM forum is at..

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Thanks for the replies Charm City and Firebird Scrambler

Yesterdayb wasn't a good day! I couldn't even find the BCM forum. I will repost there with clarifications.

I can access the BCM =50 using the nnguest account t so I know I have connectivity.

Thanks for your help
