You need to boot system into single user mode. To do this reboot the machine and when you see the line " boot: " you must enter "-s" . (you have about 10 seconds)

After it boots, it will ask you "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:", press Enter key.

Enter "/etc/overpw" in the # prompt. It will ask if you want continue, type "y".

In IPSO 3.4 and above, /etc/overpw will ask you to set a password. The admin password defaults to no password in earlier versions of IPSO.

Reboot.

Login as admin. If a password is required, you will be asked for one.


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

So, may I ask, what is the default login/password.? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.

Hi All,

hold the forte..I figured it out..needed to try IPSO where I would then get the boot: prompt. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.

Hi All,

ok, spoke too soon. I get this far,

Terminal type? dbpasswd admin admin "status"
tset: terminal type dbpasswd admin admin "status" is unknown
Terminal type?

I logged in as admin/status, so, status is the old password. What am I not getting here..? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.

Hi All,

ok, I had to type vt100 to keep moving.

Set the new passwd, and saved, but, after rebooting, it still requires the previous passwd even after I had changed it.

Terminal type? vt100
IZC1S100[admin]# dbpasswd admin admin status
err: (null) return: USM keys for SNMP not created for user 'admin'. Password must bed

IZC1S100[admin]# dbset :save
IZC1S100[admin]# reboot

P.S. Does this forum have an edit function? Would save me having to re-post every time.

OK, quick HOWTO for Bootmanager based systems:

1. Power the machine on and wait for the system to start to boot.  If you get a menu choice, then hit "1" to start BootManager.

2.  When BootManager starts to boot, be ready.  Once you see the line:
Type any character to enter command mode.
Hit a key - I prefer RETURN, but it doesn't matter.  You only get about 3-4 secs to do this before the system continues to boot, so be sharp.  If You see the system star to continue booting, turn it off and start again.

3.  At the resulting BOOTMGRx> prompt you need to kick the boot off into single user mode using the "boot -s" command:
BOOTMGR1> boot -s

4.  Once the system gets to single user mode, you'll get the prompt:
"Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:"
Just hit the RETURN key again to get a prompt.

5.  At the unix shell prompt, just run the overpw tool to fix the password to a known state by typing:
# /etc/overpw

6.  Once you have reset the password, you need to complete the boot into normal operation before you can save the changed passwords properly.  To complete the boot, type CTRL-D to exit the single user shell.

7.  Once the system finishes booting fully, you can log in to the admin account with your new password.  Once in, use Voyager to SAVE the database which will include the changed password.  Alternatively you can use the command line and issue a "dbset :save"

I think that covers it - mostly as akiwondo posted earlier.

Hi All,

yep, that's great. I did all those steps. I was saying that it ain't saving, because, when booting up normally, after all the changes etc, the new pasword is not saved. Not too sure how else to explain it. Cheers.
