For those of you wanting to salvage your Cisco ATA-186 after inadvertent locking, or after recovering your devices from a vendor who has locked them, here is a rainy-day project for you:

The above document gives exact specifications on the 4mb flash EEPROM that stores all program and configuration data on the ATA-186 (aka Komodo.) If you have a suitably delicate hand, a large amount of sophisticated equipment, and some good clamps, you might be able to erase those sections on the chip which contain the configuration data. Maybe. :) I would advise writing off a few ATA's while you try this, and I'd also write off a few weeks of time while you attempt it (unless, of course, you happen to be an unnamed three-letter US government agency who is good at this particular type of craft, and you happen to send me an anonymous email message with instructions for the home user. Hint hint.)
Please aim your negative karma at Cisco for creating a piece of hardware that can be rendered useless with software. This is against all previous ideology of Cisco, and is a disturbing trend.
