I've been through the methods of resetting the 5505 and I have managed to reset to factory defaults using this (https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=241960&messageID=2372612). I know it is reset because I had put a new management IP in and it is now back to 192.168.1.1.

BUT, when I then surf to 192.168.1.1 and it asks for user/password (which should be blank if really back to factory defaults) it appears the user/password is still not reset.

Does the web interface not reset the password when you follow the reset procedure using the console??

Any help is appreciated.

Change the passwords in the configuration by entering the following commands, as necessary:

hostname(config)# password password
hostname(config)# enable password password
hostname(config)# username name password password

Once you creat a user and password, log into the web interface with the newly created user
