Does anyone know of a password removal procedure or backdoor password for a 3com SuperStack 3 switch 4900.
I have no access to the admin level right now. Thanks for any help?
 
Hi !

Got similar probs...

I´ve an 3com Superstack II 9300 2-LX/10-SX (3C93011) SWITCH.

My Problem is: I could not login to reconfigure. My pal is walk out around the world and the 3com-support is over, because the machine was bought from 2001, and it´s to old since registration (just 2-year-free-support-help).
They gave me the offer to pay lot of money for help me here. - No thanks ! I haven´t !

Here are all my tried backdoors w/o effect (used serial-console):

adm/(none)
admin/synnet
admin/admin
admin/(blank)
admin/nopass
debug/synnet
write/synnet

... always "incorrect password" !
--------------
and:

root/(blank)
root/manger
security/(blank)
security/security
manager/manager
recover/recover
tech/tech
monitor/monitor
3comcso/RIP000

... always ".. is not a valid access level"

and here is NO reset-button on my machine ...

Maybe anyone got a quick idea ?! The delivered handbooks (the customer+admin handbooks) have no details for this case...

Does anyone have any idea or answer ?! And maybe someone could use these backdoors for his switch with mor effects ...

=)

Greetings,

Phil (cloonie)







 
I do know the procedure for removing the password for the 3c93011. The only problem is that it wipes out the old config but if that is ok try this:
power up the unit, during power up there will be a line reading loading sysboot. When you see this hit enter repeatedly until it breaks. There should be a download command there and depending on what software level you are running there may or maynot show a factoryreset command. Either way the command will work. Just type factoryreset and the switch will be set to defaults.
 
Great ! That works fine ! Did the interrupt and just typed "factoryreset" and it was after a while well done !

Thanxx a lot ...
