Can anyone help me recover the password on my BayStack 450-24T ?
 
Hi,
send the mac addr of the switch to Nortel... they will mail the password of the switch ...

Is there a hard coded backdoor password then that is generated off of the MAC address? Seems like a security flaw. I hope that the MAC address keyed password only works from a console connection, otherwise anyone that can read the mac off the back can get into the switch, without having to physically connect.
