Re: [OT] Hacking a screwed up 3C17701 (4924) from GNU/Linux
Hi,
Have you tried the method described in the 2nd Part here: http://www.directron.com/faq3switches.html ? No idea if recovery has been disabled but if not it should work for you. Otherwise i guess you really need to return the Switch to HP to have them reset the Password :/
cheers,
Martin
