    Upon further research, I must retract my earlier statement that the
    Compaq Insight Manager Web Agent's passwords are stored in clear text.
    Infact, what we see in cpqhmmd.acl are the account name and username in
    clear text NOT the password.
    
    Explanation of username and password combinations mentioned in my previous
    post.

    The default usernames and password combinations that I mentioned in my
    previous
    post are still valid.
    
    Once again these are the defaults: account: anonymous username: anonymous
    password:
     account: user username: user password: public
     account: operator username: operator password: operator
     account: administrator username: administrator password: administrator
    
    There are three types of data:
    Default(read only), Sets(read/write), and Reboot(read/write).
    The WebAgent.ini file in the system_root\CpqMgmt\WebAgent directory
    specifies the level
    of user that has access to data . The "read=" and "write=" entries in the
    file set the
    user accounts required for access, where: 0 = No access, 1 = Anonymous, 2
    = User,
    3 = Operator, and 4 = Administrator.
    Changing these entries changes the security. The web-enabled Server Agent
    service must
    be stopped and restarted for any changes to take effect. Do not modify
    anything except
    the read/write levels.
    
    New Denial of service:
    
    Just to make this post somewhat worthwile.
    http://111.111.111.111:2301/AAAAAAAA..... (223 A's seemed to be the
    minimum)
    
    The first time this occurs, an application error occurs in surveyor.exe
    Exception: access violation (0xc0000005), Address: 0x100333e5
    
    If you restart the Insight Web Agent Service and repeat it
    will cause an application error in cpqwmget.exe
    Exception: access violation(0xc0000005), Address 0x002486d4
    
    The http://111.111.111.111 will no longer respond until the service is
    stopped and restarted.
    
    Apologies for my previous error.
