I have a Alteon 180 thats password locked. How can i reset to factory default. Thanks

I'm not familiar with the 180, but most other Alteon products can be recovered by reinstalling the software. You'd need to have the software image and a FTP server. Most Alteon products I know of can be access by logging in via the console with a username of boot, and password of ForgetMe. It wipes the entire config, so hopefully you have a config backup somewhere, preferably an ascii config, as I don't recall if the passwords are stored in the config file.

It might be difficult to find the software for that box since it's been unsupported for at least 3 years.

The recovery password might be ForgetMe!
