Hi, Ok, if anyone could help me with this I'd be most grateful becuase, being the tool I am, I've messed with something I wasn't supposed to touch, and broke it To begin, we got a new HiPath 3750 installed in our office last week and I connected to it this evening using HiPath 3000 Manager E software on my laptop via cross over cable to the Lan interface module in the HiPath itself. Cruzer Blade Sandisk Driver. Now, when I started the Manager E software I was asked for a username and password (I used the default 633423 for both) and then went through the 'Start Wizard' and downloaded the running config database. I then changed the database by making a simple text change to a users name and went to write the database back to the HiPath but an dialog popped up on my screen telling me the password being used to upload was the was the default password (633423) and this would need to be changed before the new data could be uploaded, so changed the security password to '123456' and wrote the config back to the HiPath (and it worked fine.) After that I saved a local copy of the config and closed the Manager E software down. Then about 5 minutes later I went back into Manager E (again using a username and password of 633423) and tried to download the running config/database but was told I did not have the correct privilages so I figured it was because I changed the password.
