I have a tvs 220 that I remote into all the time. The last time I tried to log on, before any kind of password prompt, it displayed:

"THERE WERE 15 TIMES UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ENTER THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. THE ADMINISTRATOR IS LOCKED!"


I can log into the 2 admin mailboxes via telephone just fine using the same password I would use on the remote hyperterminal connection. There has got to be a way to unlock the rs-232 admin port without intializing, maybe the rotary switch? (not position 5 of course)
 
There is no back door you will have to wipe it and start again.
 
just a thought having logged in with the handset with admin password hhave you tried changing the password??
 
yes, and i can still always log on thru those boxes too (4 digits so mine are 9998 and 9999) but that hasnt helped the rs-232 port
 
it wont!! did you try the drowssap
 
explain drowssap

Not sure what you mean by that
 
its the word password backwards ?? try it!
 
there was someone clearly trying to hack on you
