which is the better controller

[AIM-Andrew]

Doh!, was using the 192.168.x.x address.

Will do and post my findings.

I appreciate your time, thanks for helping.

*EDIT:
-> ResetLoginPassword "Sysetm"

gives me the error:  undefined symbol: ResetLoginPassword

-> reset

gives me a list of 50ish overloaded commands.

*EDIT 2:
found this article you posted in: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1661530
and realised I needed to stop vxworks from booting etc. 
Will try tomorrow and advise.

System should be up and running to initiate the command.

*EDIT:
-> ResetLoginPassword "Sysetm"

Was this a typo?? or did you input it incorrectly into RS232.
See if it works with "system" <-- lowercase

[AIM-Andrew]

I tried many combinations of upper and lower case.  I did see that commands are case sensitive.

It seems to complain about the command ResetLoginPassword and not the parameter "system".

Going by the version command:
-> version
VxWorks (for Mitel MMC-C PPC83XX F2500) version 5.5.2.
Kernel: WIND version 2.6.
Made on Mar  3 2011, 16:45:58.
Boot line:
ata=0(0,0):/partition1/RTC8260 e=172.16.19.10:ffffff00 h=192.168.1.187 g=172.16.19.5 u=ftp pw=ftp tn=cecmxe o=qefcc
value = 127 = 0x7f

I suspect I am logged in with a limited account; ftp, and can do very little.


sarond, I appreciate your time and attention and I don't want to impose any more than I have. 

Additionally, we seem to be getting away from the original intention of my post; to ascertain which controller is the better, at least on the surface.

I will spend some more time researching the MXeIII and attempting to reset the password and ascertain its licensing and config and when I have more information to share I will start a new topic, or continue this one.

Thanks again for your help.

[sarond]

Ok, in short the MXeIII is a better controller.

Did you also try the method of deleting the user profile as mentioned in this post.

[AIM-Andrew]

I have now... I deleted the usrprfle.db file as instructed in the post, did a ls "usrprfle.db" before and after and confirmed the file was deleted.

I rebooted the unit with the reboot command.

I can type iam "system","password" and it seems to accept it, but when I attempt to log in via the browser it complains again.

After the unit boots I type pwd at the prompt.  It tells me I am in the /sysro folder.  An ls gives me similar commands  this guy got when he did it:  http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1674728, that is I don't see the ResetAllLoginPasswords.  Which folder/dir should I be in?

[sarond]

can you type swrevs in the terminal and post back the version.

[AIM-Andrew]

-> swrevs
Software version: 10.2.1.13
System relink: No relink has been applied.
Call Control relink: No relink has been applied.
value = 28 = 0x1c

[sarond]

Ok that explains why the reset password command doesn't work.
It was only introduced in MCD 5.0 (11.0.x.x)

I believe MCD 4.1 (10.1.x.x) was an issue to reset and you needed Mitel Support.

You should be in the /db/database/files directory so:
cd "/db/database/files"
rm "usrprfle.db"

then reboot

[AIM-Andrew]

Yep, did that.  Still no go.

Guess I'll have to find a Mitel partner/vendor 

Thanks again for your assistance and advice.

[sarond]

Yep, Sorry doesn't look like you can reset password without Mitel on a MCD4.x system. I thought it was just MCD 4.1
