Using "2161DS Serial Port Reset Utility Program" you can reset 2161DS Serial Port Password
Instructions:
The Password override utility program is designed to override and lost/forgotten serial port
password. Please follow the directions listed below to reset your password.
» Connect a serial cable from the serial port of the Dell 2161DS to a serial port on a client
computer.
» Launch the utility PasswordOverride.exe and follow the directions.
» The utility will communicate with the appliance and extract the 16 Digit Key.
» Customer supplies that key, as well as the EID from the appliance (located ont he bottom), to
Dell Tech Support
» Dell TSP sends back one time use password to customer, who copies it back into the utility.
» The utility will reset the password and the rest of the appliance back to factory defaults.
