I just started a new job and use 3com routers instead of Cisco's. I am trying to setup the router and change the passwords. It keeps telling me to log in or that I have the password incorrect (I am logged in and confirmed that). The login is admin and password is enter. How do I change that????

ok I have the answer to my own question:
entering 3com router from side door:
w/a slender, blunt object, depress the reset switch located just forward of the DIP switches. This will change the prompt to > then type BT A:/PRIMARY/BOOT.68K A:/NEWPW
hit enter
The system reboots and does not load the configs from primary directory. Then you can remove the SYSTEM file, reboot and reset the passwords.
cd a:/primary
df
rf system
power cycle
