Reset/Change password ?

[cyberps2]

Hi all,

On my switch 3COM 4500, I would like to change the password of "Manager", "Monitor" and "admin" account.

What is the command please ?

Do you know what the passwords are right now?

yes, I know all the passwords

Isn't password changing covered in the documentation? The manual is downloadable from 3COM's website in the support section.

OK this is what you can try, this should also work on a 4500;

When using the console port to access the boot
menu, the option <CTRL B> is available for one
second. It is possible to hold <CTRL B> after
reboot before the message is output to gain access
to the boot menu.
? By default, console messages are only visible for
one Switch in a stack of switches. Use the
info-center switch-on all command to
output all the console output from all units in a
stack to one of the console sessions.
? The following commands are used to return the
Switch to factory default settings:
? <5500G-EI>reset saved-configuration
– This command will remove the user
saved configuration file. To see which file will be
deleted, enter display startup .
? [5500G-EI]change self-unit to
auto-numbering – This command will
remove any saved Switch unit number (enter
display ftm topo to see which switches in
a stack are configured with a manual unit number,
these are marked with priority 5, automatic
numbered switches are marked with a priority
of 10).
? [5500G-SI]rsa local-key-pair
destroy – This command will remove any
local rsa keys used for SSH access.
? <5500G-SI>startup bootrom-access
enable – This command will re-enable access
to the bootrom. From the boot menu, the fol-
lowing commands may be used to select the
appropriate defaults:
5. Modify bootrom password – Factory
default is no bootrom password.
7. Skip current configuration file
– Factory default is process configuration file.
8. Set bootrom password recovery –
Factory default is enable bootrom password
recovery.
9. Set switch startup mode – Factory
default is fast startup.
? <5500G-EI> undo clock timezone –
This command will return the timezone to the
factory default UTC timezone. Enter
display clock to see what timezone is configured.
