Well, Yes, that is what 3Com want you to believe. Return the switch for resetting the passwords. However 3Com have backdoor passwords in EVERY (yes, EVERY) product. I had them all (incl. the 1000/3000 series) but i lost most of them (and they are VERY secret to customers). In some switches you can find the backdoor in the flashrom file, ie. 1100/3300 series: login: 3comcso password: RIP000
The 1000's i have now are pretty secured, all standard login's (like manager, monitor etc.etc.) are disabled. And the backdoor cannot be found in the flashfile. B.R.
