Re: set default 3Com X5
- Make a console connection to the x5/x506
- Power on the unit. Let it show CPU, memory etc.
- When the screen shows "Loading" (before the dots appear) - quickly type "mkey" (no quotes) - and press enter
You can then add a new Super Admin account
Note, you have a very small window in which you can actually type mkey...so don't sweat if it doesn't work on the first attempt.
I only tested this on an X5 though, on TOS version TOS Version : X3.1.0.2098
If it works, you should see this right after typing Mkey once the 'loading' status appears (takes a few minutes, goes through CPU, memory, etc etc.:
Loading
There are three security levels for specifying user names and passwords:
Level 0: User names and passwords are unrestricted.
Level 1: Names must be at least 6 characters long; passwords at least 8.
Level 2: In addition to level 1 restrictions, passwords must contain:
- at least 2 alpha characters
- at least 1 numeric character
- at least 1 non-alphanumeric character
Please specify a security level to be used for initial super-user name
and password creation. As super-user, you can modify the security level
later on via Command Line Interface (CLI) or Local Security Manager (LSM).
Security level :
---------------
You can continue from there.
Note: I do not know if this has an adverse affect on config. Mine was OK, but I was factory resetting it afterwards...so be careful.
