MCD 4.1 embedded vm Administrator and Manager passwords 2

[fxwired]

System has been hacked and have changed all the vm passwords except admin and manager, what is documented does't work. Any way to reset these passwords to default or a way to let me change them.

the admin password will give you sufficient access to change the admin and manager passwords

What passwords were changed?

I thought so too, but logged in with root rights it gives the message "You cannot modify the System Administrator mailbox." when I try to change the password.

 

[kwbMitel]

Then you are not using the admin passcode

Have you ever changed the Tech passcode?

If not, hopefully it is default.

Hopefully you have some documentation to tell you what it is as I don't feel it is wise to post it here.

haven't touched the tech password.

Sounds like fxwired is trying to change the Admin MB password via the GUI (web) interface & kwbMitel is talking about changing passcodes from the Admin MB using the TUI (phone) interface.

there is a way to read them from a backup

Use winrar to extract the files from a backup and go to this folder
\vmail\temp\db\backup\vmail
use notepad++ to open the 0000PARM.BIN file
Scroll to the right
... means lots of NUL
AAAA = Pilot
BBBB = ADMIN Passswd
X = Operator Mailbox
CCCC = Tech passwd
DDDD = Manager passwd

NUL.....NULNULAAAANUL....NULAAAANUL....NULXNUL...NULBBBBNUL....NULCCCCNUL.....NULDDDDNUL.....NUL



If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

@619tech MCD 4.1 cannot change passcodes via the Web Interface

@Billz66 - Amazing if true - Star worthy once confirmed.

Another option is to use an ftp client such as filezilla to connect to the 3300, navigate to /vmail/c/vm and copy the file parm.bin, open in notepad and the passwords are in clear text

 

[fxwired]

Thanks Billz66, I was able to get them from the backup.

 

[kwbMitel]

fxwired I think billz66 deserves a star. I gave one to MrMitel.
