(ASCEND) Clearing unknown passwords



As this subjects tends to come up regularily maybe ASCEND should react
to this obvious demand...
Here's my 2 cents. I recently have seen a clever solution with another
vendor. There is a factory installed password which is valid for the
first 5 minutes after power-up. Then the user-defined password becomes
valid.

Given that Ascend boxes reboot quite often :-) I'd shorten that period a
bit...but then again, they do it at unforseeable times :-))

Having physical access to the box for pulling the plug seems quite safe
and is less hassle than having to connect locally with a laptop/modem to
the console port.

What do my fellow acenders think of it? Shall I make a feature request?

Viele Gruesse / best regards,
   Wolfgang
