How do I factory default AA979A 2/8V SAN switch

[Clint Montgomery_1]

I bought this AA979A used and the login and password is not set the default admin/password. I try to enter the boot interface console and I can't find how to reset the login name. I have already tried configDefault.

Thanks for any help

I've googled around and came thru this:
(Remember that this switch Runs Brocade's Fabric OS)
http://community.brocade.com/docs/DOC-1644

Don't know if it will be useful.
Also there is a Brocade Password Reset utility that requires a serial cable, as described on
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5093675.
The links to the password recovery utility can be found at
http://community.brocade.com/thread/1527?start=15&tstart=0

hope it helps

Default password might be "fibranne". Maybe that works?
