Re: Password Recovery IP330

[Jim MacLeod <jmacleod () gmail com>]

This is a fun one.

Connect the console cable (null modem, 5-pin, not 3-pin) and turn on the 
IP330.  Watch it as it boots: there's a 5 second window during which it 
tells you to press a key to enter the bootmanager.  Note that if you 
don't see anything during pre-OS boot, you need to use a different 
terminal emulator.  Frustratingly, Hyperterm tends to work, whereas 
"better" emulators don't.

Once you're in the boot manager, boot the OS in single user mode:  "boot -s"

When you get a shell prompt, execute "/etc/overpw" to delete the 
previous admin password.  Now exit the shell (^-D, logout, exit, etc) 
and the system will boot to multi-user mode, its normal operating state.

At this point, the recommended procedure is to access the system configs 
via Voyager to set the new admin password.  If you don't know the IP 
address of the box, logging into it can be problematic, so logging in 
via the command line and running "ifconfig -a" to get that information 
is a good idea. 

Note that simply setting the admin password from the command line via 
the unix passwd command is insufficient, as the system config files are 
dynamically generated at run time from Nokia's config database.  You 
will have to set the new admin password via Voyager to make it stick.

Enjoy.
