SonicWall reconfiguration

Hello List,

Following on from my post a few weeks back regarding the re routing of traffic after the

cancellation of a link - I now have another issue:
The site that has now got a new adsl line also has a vpn that terminates both ends on

sonicwall firewalls (_/*SonicWALL SOHO TZW*/_). I have the admin username and password for one of the sonicwalls, but

not the other. I have read that it is possible to export the settings from sonicwall, and

then re-import onto relevant device - my question is , would it be straightforward to carry

this out, thus saving me having to completely re-build? I realise that I am going to have to

change address ranges etc for the ruleset, NAT, peers, interfaces etc etc but this must be

easier than re-building the sonicwall from scratch? Am i making sense here? Is this my only

option? Is there another method for recovering the admin username and password, keeping in

mind I have physical access to the device?

I realise this may seem like an odd question to post here but my experience with Sonicwall

is nill.

Any pointers greatly appreciated....TIA

Jono
