Does anybody know of a way to reset passwords on a Catalyst 2900 using SNMP?

I have the read/write/all community string and SolarWinds, but it does not support the Catalyst 2900 MIBs. Perhaps there's another tool that I could use...???

Thanks,
Jon
 
download the config via SNMP... edit the file for no passwords or the password of choice... upload the file via SNMP using the config Viewer and then reboot the box. Dont need the mibs for that.

Thank, tried all that, but SolarWinds doesn't like some switches!!

This is from the online help: "...we have found that many Cisco Catalyst switches do not support the writeNet MIB and will not work with Config Uploader."

Any other ideas??

Thanks
