I've recently received a BayStack 350-24T. It has a password set.

Is there any way to reset the password without shelling out for a Nortel
service contract?

There is no publically known backdoor for it.

However, if you can put it as a slave unit onto another unit,
when you save the stack settings, the password will be overwritten
with whatever the master's password is.

Baystack 350-24T is not stackable, onlu 410 and 450 have stacking slots.

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately, ...

Yes, I have :-/

At least I'm pretty sure they didn't work, but I did notice an odd
behavior. When I enter some random password, the switch reports "Invalid
Password". However, when I enter either 'secure' or 'user', instead of
"Invalid Password", the switch responds with "Please Enter SWITCH
Password." (The capitalization is the switches.)

Have you any idea what it's trying to tell me?

If you are running an older version of the firmware (maybe pre v3.0),
"NetICs" (minus quotes) is the backdoor password.

This "feature" was removed in later versions.

This password works only with software release v1.x
If you have 2.x or newer it doesn't work.

The procedure below works for a BPS but it's worth a try.

Recover by Factory Defaulting

Connect to the console port of the switch.
Reboot the switch.
When the first line of the diagnostics tests is displayed, press CTRL-C


The system will then display a menu.
Select option "i" (this will factory default the switch!)
Select option "a" (this will run the agent code)
Upon bootup, the switch will be in a factory default configuration.
