To recover lost NETBuilder Remote Office password:
1. Attach terminal or terminal emulator to console port. Set for 9600
baud,
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
2. Enter Monitor mode(by doing the following)
a. Locate hardware interrupt switch on left forward side panel.
The hardware interrupt switch is located on the left side of the router
(when facing the front panel). It is recessed into an
opening near the DIP switches. Press the switch with a non conductive
object, such as a plastic stylus, to activate the monitor
firmware utility.
b. Press interrupt switch(your console should not display a "> prompt"
Note: On some of the new routers you can reboot router and hit the
"escape"
key to get a ">" sign on terminal, this puts you into
monitor mode.
3. Type (below assumes that boot.68k is located at /primary
bt /primary/boot.68k dummy <Enter> "or"
bt /primary/boot.68k / <Enter> "assuming that there are not any config
files at /"
4. After system boots, log in as root. Press return at password prompt
5. Remove the configuration file containing the password. This file is
called system. Type:
rf primary/system <Enter>
6. Reboot. The password has been removed. Global parameters may need to
be
reconfigured. These are parameters such as Welcome String, Daylight
Savings
Time, etc.
Hope this helps,
Jim
