If it's like the ServerIron there's a procedure that's similar to the
Cisco one - power-cycle, break into the boot process by hitting enter
on the serial console, put in a not-so-secret secret command to make it
boot with no enable password, and then set a new password once you're
back in enable mode.
We don't have any Fastirons here, but the Foundry products in general
are pretty good. Not intending to start a war here, but I'd say
they're better than a lot of Cisco products when you weigh
price/performance.

I'll take it if yer giving it away :)
To break the password you need to send a break sequence to the console on
bootup and then at the boot prompt issue the no password command to boot up
without a password set.
