Looking for tips on password and config. file recovery

[stian123]

Hi

I am looking for possibilities for what to do if you don´t know the password on Tandberg units. Is there for example a way to reset the password via com-port?

Also if you are not able to log in to the web interface is there then a way to extract the configuration files (system and directory)?

if you log in using the comm port use the command "ippassword" followed by what you want the password to be.

ex. ippassword TANDBERG

will set it to the default password which is TANDBERG

the config file is "all.prm" and can be gotten through an ftp session

It's just that TANDBERGs demand a stricter password than "TANDBERG" by default... So you have to either use a password of atleast 8 characters and atleast one has to be a number.

OR disable the stricter password check:

strictpassword off
ippassword "TANDBERG"

But doesn’t this require that you at already logged onto the endpoint? How can you get passed the log on phase when connecting to the endpoint.

AS stated earlier: "..if you log in using the comm port use the command "ippassword"... "

IF doing so, you don't need to log-on, just connect a RS-232 cable to the comm-port and use a terminal-sw to connect.
