How to reset to factory defaults a 3Com Dual Spped Hub 500?
 
Here are some maybes. The method varies between 3com products.


-----------------
try username: 3comcso (must be serial connection!)
password: RIP000
it will ask you to re-initialize answer "y" lowercase. The unit will reset.. you may need to power-cycle it. Now admin should have no password again.

Start your 3com switch , whait 3 sec and press the reset buton and let it boot

you will have a new prompt on your Procom

hit the key "h"

the help menu will pop up !

from there you should be able to reset the switch .

But nothing for the password recovery yet ..... but I can change all IP address !!

----------
The 3comcso/RIP000 works fine if you connect with COM cable. I use the hyperterminal (19200 Baud,8,N,1)
When Hyperterminal is up, close the connection and then start it again by the icons. Hit Enter twice. Then the logon prompt will be shown. Now Enter the username 3comcso and for password enter RIP000 at the question for intitalizing the unit hit "y" Thats all.
----------------

Also try searching tek-tips for 3com passwords. The switch products are similar to the hubs in many cases.
