Anyone know how to change root password on an IP330?  I was able to
social engineer my way to Admin (thanks nokia support).  I still need to
get root password to reconfigure the box. I do not have access to the
nokia website ;( but I do have physical access to the box.

Admin is essentailly root on the Nokias, but you might be able to ue

        dbset root newpassword ""
then
        dbset :save

...from the command line. That'll null out the password, although on
recent versions of IPSO we've seen the password revert back to the old
admin password on reboot.

I've tried this for admin passwords but haven't tried it for root yet,
although it -should- work.
