My company just purchased a pair of Foundry ServerIrons and a Summit24 switch from a company that was going out of buisiness. All three devices still have passwords set on them. We are trying to get in touch with the original owner to find out about the passwords, but that is likely to take a while.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to wipe the configurations of these devices without knowing the passwords?

I found the method to clear the serverirons buried in the online documentation. Unfortunately, I can't find any online documentation for the switch.

If anyone knows how to get around a lost password on an Extreme Networks Summit24 switch, pleaselet me know.

You should look it up on the web site of the companies that make those devices. Most devices that I have come across have a way of ereasing everything.

I looked on the website. They don't have much help online and since I don't have a service contract, I can't call or email them. So I'm asking you guys. I figure someone out there has one of these switches with a manual and can look it up for me.

If not, I should be able to get in touch with the original owner later this week to find out what the current password is.
