UNSOLVED
2724 invalid Password
heya,
I have 3 dell PowerConnect 2724 switches and I can not get into the management console.
I can ping the switch, I can even get to the web login page, but using the default user of "admin" with a null password I recieve the following error:
"User name or Password is missing"
This is the same issue on all 3 of our powerconnect swiches. We have tried numerous computers, multiple browsers and still have the same issue.
In the past we have been able to connect into the management console, but recently we are unable to.
I assume that when the switch looses power then regains power it restores the previous settings, but when the managemnt button is pressed it resets it all?
Any help would be great
Regards Mo_Girks

- yes I have,
If i had not pressed the manage button I would not have enabled the management mode or be able to get to the web based GUI.
The issue I am having relates to the password. From your post it seems as though the admin password is not being reset.

Managed Mode Button
The PowerConnect 2708/2716/2724/2748 has a Managed Mode push button on the front panel.
The Managed Mode button is for changing between Managed Mode and Unmanaged (or
Secure) Mode. After a change from Unmanaged (or Secure) Mode to Managed Mode, the
switch restores the configuration values to factory default settings.
From Unmanaged or Secure Mode (2748 only), pressing the Managed Mode button causes:
• Factory default configuration (192.168.2.1) is set as the switch IP address.
• Subnet mask changes to 255.255.255.0
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) login user name changes to Admin, and the password is not
configured (appears blank), with Read/Write privilege.
• The DHCP client is set off.
• The device is rebooted.
