Does anyone know how to reset the password on a VPN 3050. Don't really care about keeping the config just want to scrap the config and start over. The guy who worked here before me didn't save any of the passwords! not a good thing for a beginner to run into all the time.
 
If I remember correctly, connect to the serial port, login with a username of boot, and password of ForgetMe. You need to have the software image handy, and will need to reload the software image via a FTP server, as I don't believe there is a method to recover a lost admin password.
 
I downloaded the 6.0 img file from nortel/support. There is also the MIB file. Not sure what those do at this point or how to update them. Any advice on that topic?
 
If you have the code and a FTP server, connect with a console cable and log in with the username/password mentioned previously. You will be prompted through the process.
