RE: [fw1-gurus] Nokia IP330 Bootmanager password - Please Help!!!

["Brown, Jim" <Jim.Brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Found it:

Description:  The bootmanager password on can be overwritten simply by
re-issuing the passwd command at the bootmanager prompt.

For example

Verifying DMI Pool Data ........

1 . . . Bootmgr
2 . . . IPSO

Default: 2
Starting bootmgr
Loading boot manager..
Boot manager loaded.
Entering autoboot mode.
Type any character to enter command mode.
BOOTMGR[1]> passwd
New password:
Please retype it again to verify:
Password changed.
BOOTMGR[2]>
BOOTMGR[3]>
BOOTMGR[4]> passwd
New password:

I had this same problem a few months back and contacted Nokia support.
There is a way to reset the password without sending the unit back.

The solution escapes me at the moment, but there is a way to recover the
unit without disk imaging or returning the unit.

I will dig around and see if I can locate it.

Beg to differ but there is:
BOOTMGR[2]> help
boot            Boot/Load and Run kernel or executable
install         Proceed to install new IPSO image
halt            Halt the system
setenv          Set Environment Variable
unsetenv        Clear Environment Variable
printenv        Print Environment Variables
passwd          Set password for system
ls              List Directory
sysinfo         Display System Information
unsetalias      Clear System alias
setalias        Set System alias
showalias       Show System aliases
set-defaults    Set bootmgr defaults
netconfig       Configure network boot parameters

If it has been set, and lost then the only ways to recover this are:
- Use a know good IP330 and copy its disk image to the broken.
- Return to Nokia to do above
- Try to brute force the passwd

Gareth
