Password Recovery Method Failure On S50-01-ge-48t
I have a couple Force10 S50-01-GE-48T Switches that are password protected and I have tried all standard procedures to clear the configuration (and the accounts) to no avail. They are running U-Boot 1.1.4 and FTOS. Others running the same software set were able to be reset to factory defaults.
Below are the details of my trials:
# mount
/dev/md0a on / type ffs (local)
mfs:13 on /f10 type mfs (synchronous, local)
mfs:15 on /force10 type mfs (synchronous, local)
#
# sysctl_f10 -w ddb.command="call passwdDisable()"
0x4
ddb.command: Kernel DDB command successfule() -> call passwdDisable() Says it was successful
#
# reboot
May 6 11:17:30 reboot: rebooted by root
**Upon reboot, the password is still active
I’ve tried go get into BOOT_USER Mode by breaking the autoboot and entering => go 0x00040004 but received the following:
** Illegal Instruction **
Call backtrace:
0FFEB2AC 0FFF0960 0FFF008C 0FFF01F8 0FFEAFD4 0FFE9034 0FFE2628
Program Check Exception
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
I've even tried to clear the NVRam using the command, sysctl_f10 -w ddb.command="call flashEraseSector(0x01900000)" but all it seems to do is erase the current SSH certs. ANY help you could provide me would me MUCH appreciated as I have exhausted every single support document you have online regarding this matter.
