netopia 3500 password reset
I have a client who has a netopia 3500 series device and the client forgot the username/password. How can I reset this device to default or another password without having the current username/password? Also, I do not want to loose the settings on the device because without loggin into the device, I don't know what rules are in the device.

Well found DotNetChano!
I do remember, now, following this process when we first set up our routers, and so I see no reason why it shouldn't work at any point - hence why you must be on the LAN in order to do this (and obviously have the serial number in front of you!)

If you telnet to the router IP and type Configure at the prompt, then script it will list all of the current settings for the device. Unfortunately I can't remember if you can do this without having the admin password.
There is no way to reset the password without doing a hard reset of the router, in which case you will lose all of the settings.
