Re: Password Recovery IP330

["Keith A. Glass" <salgak () speakeasy net>]

Here you go: it's easy, straighforward, and if your not careful, you may learn a bit of  UNIX in the process:

****
The supported method is to boot the system into single-user mode and run /etc/overpw

If you are running IPSO 3.1.3 or earlier on a boot manager platform, (which could only be an IP650 or IP330), overpw 
fails. Please ask for Internal Resolution 1961 - How to remove config and password if overpw fails. (Newer boot manager 
platforms require later versions of IPSO, for which overpw has been updated.)

If you are running IPSO 3.4.x, then you will be able to login as admin to the console without a password, but you will 
not be able to log into Network Voyager. Therefore,

The use of overpw requires the use of the dbpasswd in order to set the Network Voyager password to be the same as the 
login password.

Solution:  You must have local serial console access to the unit to perform this procedure.


Boot system into single user mode. To do this reboot or power cycle the machine, When you see the line " boot: " you 
must enter "-s" before it goes into multiuser mode. (you have about 10 seconds)

* on a ip330 or ip650 you need to type boot -s at the BOOTMGR prompt*

After it boots, it will ask you "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:", press Enter key.

Type "/etc/overpw" in the # prompt. It will ask if you want continue, type "y".

In IPSO 3.1.3 systems and earlier, it will ask you to put a floppy disk into the floppy drive to make sure you have 
physical access to the box. Put a floppy disk into the floppy drive and press Enter key. IPSO 3.1.4 and later does not 
ask this question.

In IPSO 3.4 and above, /etc/overpw will ask you to set a password. The admin password defaults to no password in 
earlier versions of IPSO.

Continue to boot to multiuser mode.

Login as admin. If a password is required, you will be asked for one.

Use the dbpasswd command to set a new password:

nokia[admin]# dbpasswd admin newpassword ""

(Note that the "" is necessary to specify (NULL) as the old password.)

Then, save this new password to the configuration file so that you can log into Network Voyager:

nokia[admin]# dbset :save
