Superstack 3 3848 reset at default

It will have a reset button on it, hold it down for ten seconds and it should reset the router to factory.

Username:monitor Password: monitor---monitor mode, view only manager manager--can change all except security features admin (no password)--sets security features IP: 169.254.100.100 or 169.254.100.99

1. Using a Null-Modem Cable , hook up the Console port of the switch to an available COM port on a computer (cable must be able to provide serial port communication between 2 computers).
2. Set up a Hyperterminal session to that COM port (e.g.: com1), with the port settings at 9600/8/N/1/N (. When the screen comes up blank with a blinking cursor, hit [enter] once or twice to bring up a login prompt.
3. Alternative to 1 and 2 above, if there is a known assigned TCP/IP address for the switch, one can telnet to that address, hit [enter] once or twice to get the login prompt.
4. Default logins to try are admin/(no password) or security/security. One of those 2 should bring up the management menu.
5. To reset factory defaults, type SYSTEM[enter] then type INITIALIZE[enter]. This will reset everything that has been set up on the switch, with the exception of the TCP/IP address, if there is one. All other previous configurations will need to be re-entered.
6. You can type in username "3comcso" and password "RIP000". It will ask you to reinitialize the switch. This will reset all settings including passwords.

the default user name is admin, try that with no password.

if that doesn't work to reset it you

1- Power OFF your router.

2- Disconnect all LAN cables

3- Loop the WAN port to a LAN port, in other words hook up a network cable from the WAN port to one
of the LAN ports
4- Power up, wait 15 seconds

when you have done that use the default username and password to access the router, but when you have done this make sure you set a new user name and password and keep it somewhere safe.

Hi,
First try with the default setting for your router.
Default IP Address :- 192.168.0.50
Default admin username :- admin
Default admin password : Don't enter anything keep it blank.

If this will not work then you have to reset your router.

Thanks for using FixYa.

hi normally after a reset the user name is normally, (admin), and the password is normally (password)....hope this helps

If you donot have the default IP of the router, try setting an IP as 192.168.1.2 on your machine & access 192.168.1.1 (which is supposed to be the default IP of the router)

You forget the password for the "admin" user account and can no longer perform important management operations. Use the password recovery method outlined below to define a new password for the "admin" user account:

1. Access the Command Line Interface from the console port and enter the user name "recover" and password "recover" to place the Switch in password recovery mode. The Switch remains in password recovery mode for a maximum of 30 seconds, before it returns to the CLI login prompt.
   
   You must use the console port to recover the passsword. If you attempt the recovery method using the network, the password will be rejected.
   
   
2. Perform a hard reset on the Switch whilst it is in password recovery mode by switching it off, waiting a few seconds, and switching it on again.
   
   You cannot use a soft reset operation to reset the password of the "admin" user account. This will end the password recovery procedure and return you to the CLI login prompt.
   
   
3. When the Switch has rebooted following the hard reset enter a new password for the "admin" user account.
