<br />
Okay I found the solution by myself ...<br />
<br />
Reboot the Nokia and when it is booting type in -s (couple seconds to do this) to drop into single user mode<br />
<br />
Hit return<br />
<br />
use sh as shell<br />
<br />
type in the following<br />
<br />
/etc/overpw<br />
<br />
and hit y to continue - you have now cleared the admin password

There are some serious vulnerabilities in Check Point 4.1 (which is all I believe the VPN 2xx series will run), so be careful...<br />

Dear Nokia/Firewall Experts!<br />
<br />
I recently got hold of an old Nokia VPN210 Firewall. It is not going to be used in production anymore but merely for my own educational purposes...<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the Nokia VPN210 isn't supported by Nokia/Check Point anymore and worse it is protected by a password! <br />
<br />
How can I restore the unit to its default passwords? &nbsp;Can I restore factory settings in some way?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks!<br />

Nokia VPN210 (with Check Point Firewall-1) : How can I restore factory settings alt. set default passwords?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
