We were able factory restart the box. Then we were able to get in with the admin / itpassw combo. It asked us to put a new password in which we did.
Then we were able to go through the initial setup screens in the MiVoice software. Licenses, hardware seems to be in tact.
Then we loaded our last backup of the configuration--that also went smoothly.
After the unit restarted we're exactly back where we started: at 20% of the login screen it says bad password and we are trying both the new one we created as well as the default...no dice.
Once we did the restore should it have changed the admin password back to the one we supposedly don't know?
If that is in fact what happened is there any dealers willing to work quickly with us/mitel to get us in? This just makes no sense.
