Need help to recover switch Silverstorm 9024-CU24-ST2-DDR admin password

hi everybody,

I brought an used infiniband switch silverstorm 9024, the problem i have for now is i cannot find admin password and don’t know how to reset it.

here is my story:

1, I used serial cable connect to switch

8 data bits

no parity bits

1 stop bit

57.6K baud

Use VT100 emulation.

Flow control = XON/XOFF

2, I can see the boot processing on terminal, info like this:

Welcome to the SilverStorm 9024 DDR CLI. Type ‘list’ for the list of commands.

NtpClient: ERROR getting the Time

error code is: : S_sntpcLib_TIMEOUT

3, I CAN NOT input anything on terminal, tried diffrent terminal software (putty, secureCRT, windows xp hyperterminal) same thing.

4, I got ip address of switch

5, I use IE connect to switch, it asked my password, i tried admin/adminpass, didn’t work, operator/operpass worked, but i have no right to do anything.

Till now, i think i have two ways to go,

1, try to create an admin role user from terminal but terminal didn’t take any input

2, try to recover admin password

but I have no idea how to do that, any help will be great appreciated.

hi,

I fixed it.

The problem comes from serial cable, change another serial cable, use terminal no problem at all.

Hello there!

I’m running into the exact same problem but am wondering which serial cable you used to be able to send commands?

I’m using this one and have the issue of read-only access:

VRCABLERJ11 Promise Cable: DB9 to RJ11 http://shop.promise.com/index.php?p=product&id=72

I also tried this pin-out on a different cable, but it does not work either… I don’t even see anything on the terminal actually (using screen or minicom):
