Re: [nv-l] HOW RECOVERY PASSWORD FOR SWITCH IBM 8275-324

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

You should contact the person who sold it to you and demand either the password, or a refund. The way the passwords were reset on that device was to call IBM Support  with the model and serial number, MAC address and firmware revision. They (as in Level 3 support, in Raleigh, in the US) would generate an override password based on that information, which they would then give to an IBMer to reset the switch for you - either by dialup/SLIP or by a hardware service call. The customer did not get the userid/password at any stage. 

You could look where I found this information:www.networking.ibm.com. There is a forum there for the withdrawn IBM network hardware.

Thanks for your answer but ...

in the manual no appears this problem. The user and password were modified 
(aren´t default) and it(manual) tells how can i change them (user and 
password) into the console switch but I can´t enter. Need something how a 
password and user for use administrative by a IBM technician or other form 
to guess them.

Sorry, perhaps I repeat the same other and other once but my english it´s 
very bad

Cordially,
