An if that don't work you can reload or update your firmware to reset the passwords, you will need
1. firmware (for a Superstack II 3000 like I have) the url is
;
2. a null modem cable
3. a TFTP Server software you can download it from 3com called 3CServer (make sure you set the TFTP folder where the firmware file is located)
Once you have all this in hand do the following.
1. Connect the null-modem cable, configure Hyper Terminal for windows users to the com port you have connected, normal com setting N-8-1 none and VT100, connect to switch (login should appear if not don't worry console may be disable)
2. configure and start your TFTP Server
3. on the switch push the reset button 2 seconds
4. wait 3 seconds
5. push reset button again for 1 second
6. you should see the prompt after a few seconds at the prompt line type the following commands
F ls3k3_23.slx (firmware file name) "press enter"
B IPAddress of TFTP Server "press enter"
After firmware update the switch will reboot and the passwods will fall back to factory default.
BUT before pressing b to begin s/w download
type RIP0000
then b
This will erase the password.
