[mrtg] Re: OT: Reset of 3Com Switch passwords

Try logging in as security and password of security.  You will be able to
change the admin password here.  As long as the security password wasn't
changed.  Also try the default login of admin and no password.  This is from
3Coms knowledgebase:

Fact  SuperStack II Switch 3300
Fact  SuperStack 3 Switch 3300
Fact  SuperStack II Switch 1100
Fact  default password
Symptom  lost password
Symptom  forgot password
Cause  The password was changed and now the switch cannot be accessed.
Fix  The default password for the "admin" account is no password (just press
enter when prompted for the password).

If you can not access the switch try the security account using "security"
as login and "security" as password. As soon as you gain access to the
switch modify the admin account and re-login as administrator. You should
avoid to access as security for administrative tasks.

If you still have no access to the switch, please, contact 3Com to RMA the
unit.

Subject: [mrtg] OT: Reset of 3Com Switch passwords



Hi list, a bit off topic.
We wanted to use an old 3Com Superstack II SNMP-switch as a MRTG-plattform
for analysing IP-traffic. It is a machine, where noone remembers the
password to login. Is there an easy way to reset the given passwords of that
switch ?

Thank you.

Uwe
