Look at the script overpw at the /etc. This script checks for single user mode and that you are logging in under the console. You can create your own script and mount the drive in write mode and accomplish the same thing. But once again, if you have logged in as admin, you are 'root'. -----Original Message----- From: Enno Rey [mailto:erey@security-academy.de] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 11:14 PM To: pentest.nospam13@web-cities.net; pen-testat_private Subject: Re: Nokia IP 330 Firewall Appliance Hi, afaik you can't even touch the 'root' account on the nokia boxes. You just have to work as admin which is (nearly?) equivalent... to reset admin account, see procedure in http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/fw1-0203/541/2.html [describes the procedure for a 440, shall work on a 330, too]. But ... one thing I don't get... being admin you're definitely able to reconfigure the box... if not there's some other problem... feel free to mail me off-list to investigate further...
