hi, just got some 1750's but they all are passworded any one know how to overcome this other than sending back to nortel?
 
If you know the management IP, you can boot from a recovery disk, browse the management page in a web broswer (connected to the private interface) and reset it to defaults (this resets the config and the admin password). If you don't know the management IP, you can put a sniffer on the private interface while it boots and capture (the contivity sends a garp for its won IP). This isn't always 100% for some reason, but it may work...

peace
