Reset password on MSA1000 SAN Switch 2/8.

Hi

How can i do it?

Thanks

I've asked a HP technician last week, because one of our customers has the same problem. He told me that the customer need to open a call (which will cost money) and HP will manage the recovery with Brocade as there is no easy way.

That is true - Brocade switches running 2.x and 3.x firmware (including the 2/8) have no easy procedure for resetting passwords. HP needs to engage Brocade who generates a single-use recovery firmware that can be used to reset the passwords to the factory default.

As per the previous posts, you will probably have to get HP to escalate to Brocade...

However you don't say which username you are having problems with - I'm guessing admin.

Do you know the root user password ? That might still be set to the default (password). If it is then you can reset the other passwords with the passwddefault command.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

Hi.

Thanks for the answers.

I have read through all forum before to ask this question.
I tried different combinations of accounts and passwords. Unsuccessfully.
All these passwords have been changed more than year ago. Now I forgot them. :-(

I have found the reference to utility PasswordRecovery3.0.

It mismatches our version. The switches run with v3.2.0 firmware.

According to this reference (and your answers) it is clear, that the decision only in call support. But I hoped for more simple decision.

Sorry for my English.

Regards,
Alexander

Try login with user "root" and factory default password is "fivranne"
