RE: Recovering 3com Switch Password

["Burton M. Strauss III" <BStrauss () acm org>]

Buy a cable, but you'll still have to give a password.

There are a couple of other standard id passwords on much 3Com gear.

userid tech, password tech

userid debug, password accounts

Or the Nuclear option:

userid 3comcso, password RIP000

If you use that last one, you get in, but the configuration is cleared back
to factory default.

Have fun
