Thanks GHTROUT.

I've tried to do this as well but the second level password does not work. Is there another way?

 

[GHTROUT]

Then you don't have PWD2 I suspect. Your vendor will give it to you in most cases. If they don't know it, they can arrange to retrieve it.

level 2 is unique to your switch, without it you can not change any pwd.. if you have access to element manager, you can change it under security

Thanks johnpoole and ghtrout. I was given the Level2 by the vendor which supposedly is the security id which I verified but it still will not let me change it. The vendor also left paperwork with the Level2 inside the switch which matches what I see when I print the security id. I understand there is a password diagnostic tool but don't know anymore than that. The vendor is no longer around in our area.

Are you doing

LOGI ADMIN2
PASS (the password you were given)

Yes..but I never get a prompt. We have over 37 systems and have sucessfully changed the Level 1 password on all of them except 1. We're going for consistancy and also too many people knew the level 1 and we've had issues.

On Rls 3 and older, if you can get the database.rec off a backup, (otherwise you have to get it out of the file system) the password can be extracted from that.

Not sure how to do that, so we'll probably just live with it...unless there's an NTP for how to extract.

 

[GHTROUT]

No, it's not in any books and isn't posted here. I'm only suggesting it's possible for some to do.

OK. Thanks ghtrout. I'll talk to my co-worker and maybe we can figure it out. Is this something you can do with PDT?

 

[GHTROUT]

It isn't anything that should be discussed on this forum. We are bordering on being reported as "inappropriate" by other posters.

OK. Don't want to have that happen.

There is a process in PDT that the passwords can be decoded in 4.0 and below. If it is 4.5 and above it is a completely different process.

As mentioned before this information is not listed in any documentation and is borderline confidentional/inappropriate.
