Partner Mail Release 03 - unable to log in as admin through phones or serial port, lost password/hdd

[ts312]

Hello again - trying to repair some old Partner Mail 03 stand alones to replace a dead one but can not remember how to re-serialize.

When attempting to log in from a partner telephone as admin, no default passwords work - I'd like to reset/default the system.

When attempting to log in from serial port, I'm prompted for System Password but no factory default passwords and serial number does not work.

My notes from a few years ago tell me to re-serialize the hard drive - but I must be missing a step, I'm not able to get to any menu (admin or otherwise) when a PC connected to serial port, it boots and just goes to a "system password" prompt.

I tried to review my old post (

) but can not find a clue as to the step im missing to begin the re-serializing of the system/hard drive.

Thanks for nay help!

Hey @TouchToneTommy - you still around? You seem to have a good memory for these things! Love to hear from you again!
Cheers!

I believe with Partner Mail you can use the serial number as the password to reset it. To do so you log-in as admin and then when asked for the password put the serial number of the unit (I think just the last 6, or maybe the serial is just 6-digits). Once entered, you power cycle the unit and then you should be able to access with the default.

Hey, I'm still here! If the serial number doesn't work to get you into the drive, there are 2 backdoor passwords that you can contact me and give a try
