Lost Admin Password of SonicWall TZ 170
Hello!
I have a big problem! I have a SonicWall TZ 170 enhanced and recently changed the password.

However somehow I can not login anymore.

Since my latest backup is not that fresh anymore, I like to avoid to push the reset button.

Is there anyway to retrieve this admin password. Maybe by loggin in via telnet or the consol?

Looking forward to your answers.

Please view this From SonicWall's website: http://www4.nohold.net/noHoldCust304/Prod_3/KnowledgePortal/KPScripts/frameskp.asp?sid=761925&ds=nh7.nohold.net

Summary, there is no "backdoor".  You will have to reset and import a config file or remember the password.

budchawla is right...give him the points.

Hey folks,
The support at SonicWall told me, I should let them know, if I find a backdoor to set the admin password.

They said they would have failed their job, if there is any since they claim to have a professional firewall, which should not be easy to hack. :-((((((

Thanks guys.
