Switch Passowrd

[Awesome]

I have a 6850 switch and for whatever reason when I attempt to Telnet to this switch and enter the

login : xxxxxxxxxx
password : xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am getting the following message.

Authentication failure: Invalid login name or password

I suspect I am entering the incorrect password and the engineer that configured this switch has left the organisation some time ago and is no longer contactable.

However I do know the SNMP password.

So my question is, is it possible to change the password via executing an SNMP query and if so does anyone know the MIB or the OID I need to use to change the password?

It depends.. if you have a v3 SNMP User you can normally login with this user. But I don't know how to set a new user with snmpv2.

You can allways do a password recovery by breaking boot sequence to enter uboot.

my Dokumentation says something like:

Code: Select all

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hit Space bar 

fatls ide :1,0

run miniboot 

which of course deletes all users (including snmp)
