Password Recovery for Storageworks 2312I G2 ISCSI SAN

[Michael Salm]

So it would seem that my coworker never documented the password he set on the controllers of the above model SAN, the one that contains all of the client's core VM's. If I can find the console cable and connect to the CLI, can anyone tell me what I have to do to reset the 'manage' or root password?

TIA

Did you try the "admin" account?

should be admin! (or !admin)..

I remember there being an admin account built into it.

user "manage" password "!manage" is a built in account.

If those accounts/passwords don't work, I believe the MSA 2000 G2 does not require a user name for the serial port (p2000 G3 do/did).

page 104.

set password manage

should do it though.

don't use any weird characters :)

If this account was not changed, try

user admin
password !admin

Gentlemen,

Thanks so much for the advice. Unfortunately my coworker is a security-minded sort of chap and he most definitely changed all of the default passwords for the above-referenced accounts. I've tried all of the suggested username/passwords via SSH and still no joy. Further, the client seems to have lost the console cable, so I'm working on finding a replacement. Never easy is it?

I hope to be consoling into the SAN next Tuesday...updates as warranted!
