How do I recover the enable password on my Trapeze mobility exchange mx-8. Or how do I do a factory reset?

The person that set the passwords is no longer with us and we need to do a factory reset or recover the passwords in order to set the configuration we need. We can connect with console connection.

Hi Mate.

In case you still need to do this, or in case someone else stumbles on this problem and needs an answer, below is the the solution.

Connect to the MX device via console cable and recycle power.

Interrupt the boot process by pressing "q" followed by the "Enter" key when prompted.

at the boot> prompt enter the following command:

boot> boot OPT+=default (NOTE: This is case sensitive) and press "ENTER"

Presto, your devices boot with factory defaults.

    Thanks for your post... However, when I press q followed by enter, the boot process continues to the login prompt. Tried numerous times, but it seems to ignore the keys pressed. Do you have any idea as to why?

Restore my Mx-b382 setting to factory setting

Probably you can access the settings through the operation screen on the machine.
There you may find this reset setting.

I found a manual here:
https://www.sharp.eu/cps/rde/xbcr/documents/documents/om/34_ppc/MXB382-SC_OM_Start-Guide_GB.pdf

There in it says:
Factory default passwords
When accessing the system settings, the administrator password is required to log in with administrator rights. The system settings can be configured in the Web pages as well as on the operation panel. To access the system settings using the Web pages, a password is also required.
Factory default administrator password is “admin”
Store a new administrator password as soon as the machine is installed.
Once the administrator password has been changed, the new password is required to restore the factory default password. Take care to remember the new password.
Factory default passwords (Web pages)
There are two factory default accounts: "Administrator" and "User". A person who logs in as an "Administrator" can configure all settings in the Web pages. In addition, an administrator can restrict access to other settings by enabling "User" accounts.
Default:
users with password users
admin with password admin

If this has been changed when the machine was installed you have a challenge to find out who changed it and if this person still knows it.

I forgot my gmail account

Typically when a mobile device is locked, it wants the original e-mail account name and password it was setup with. You shouldn't need internet connectivity to unlock the phone. If you can log into your account at https://mail.google.com/ that's good, but it doesn't guarantee it's the same account the device is using or the original password used.
In some cases, if the device can receive a call, you can access the menu during the call and disable the screen lock.
If you don't remember the username and the account was properly setup at creation time, you can recover the name using "I forgot my username" here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=46346 And here's a trick to recover an account name on an Android device: https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/ydNElvUjJVU/discussion
If you have the username, the following will help with the process to recover the account by resetting the password: http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/
BUT... A recovered account or changed password won't have the original password which is what the device needs to be unlocked. In that case the device will probably need to have a factory reset done (read the owner's manual for instructions) and then setup again with an e-mail account (be sure to write the information down this time). If it's setup with the recovered e-mail account, any purchased apps and synced data should be restored. If a new account needs to be created, all previous information will be lost.

I forgot ip address and password and want to factory reset

Connect the console cable, open a connection to the serial port via a utility such as PuTTY, and do the following:
1) Enter the user name "recover" and password "recover" to place your unit in password recovery mode. The unit will remain in password recovery mode for 30 seconds max.
2) Perform a hard reset by removing power, waiting 10 seconds, and then re-applying power.
3) Once the switch has rebooted, enter a new password for the "admin" user account.
4) Enter enable to leave password recovery enabled, or enter disable to turn it off. You are now logged in as the default "admin" user.
Note: If password recovery has been disabled, the only way to recover access is to return the switch to 3com.

GSM712 Netgear Switch password reset or recovery

As far as I know, you'll need Netgear's help to recover the passwords and they'll only help if you have a Premium support contract.

Try "1234" as this is the default if password protection is enabled.

Good luck!
