>From nokia support site... resolution 692 How do I change the admin password when it is lost or unknown? IPSO (Operating system), System Configuration for version: 3.0 And Later date modified: 01/29/2002 This resolution describes how to reset the admin password, should it be unknown or forgotten. There are some important notes that need to be considered first: The supported method is to boot the system into single-user mode and run /etc/overpw If you are running IPSO 3.1.3 or earlier on a boot manager platform, (which could only be an IP650 or IP330), overpw fails. Please ask for Internal Resolution 1961 - How to remove config and password if overpw fails. (Newer boot manager platforms require later versions of IPSO, for which overpw has been updated.) If you are running IPSO 3.4.x, then you will be able to login as admin to the console without a password, but you will not be able to log into Network Voyager. Therefore, The use of overpw requires the use of the dbpasswd in order to set the Network Voyager password to be the same as the login password. SOLUTION You must have local serial console access to the unit to perform this procedure. Keyboard and monitor directly connected to the machine will not display the "boot:" line, which means you will not be able to perform this procedure. Boot system into single user mode. To do this reboot or power cycle the machine, When you see the line " boot: " you must enter "-s" before it goes into multiuser mode. (you have about 10 seconds) * on a ip330 or ip650 you need to type boot -s at the BOOTMGR prompt* After it boots, it will ask you "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:", press Enter key. Type "/etc/overpw" in the # prompt. It will ask if you want continue, type "y". In IPSO 3.1.3 systems and earlier, it will ask you to put a floppy disk into the floppy drive to make sure you have physical access to the box. Put a floppy disk into the floppy drive and press Enter key. IPSO 3.1.4 and later does not ask this question. The admin password defaults to no password for admin. Continue to boot to multiuser mode. Login as admin. Note that you are not asked for a password Use the dbpasswd command to set a new password: nokia[admin]# dbpasswd admin newpassword "" (Note that the "" is necessary to specify (NULL) as the old password.) Then, save this new password to the configuration file so that you can log into Network Voyager: nokia[admin]# dbset :save if you are defaulting ipso 3.4 or above, blank passwords are not accepted in Network Voyager.
