Anyone know how to factory reset a 3Com 2824 SFP (HP V1910-24G)

Sorry, is a 3Com 2928 SFP Plus (it's been a long year).

No reset buttons, got console cable connected, CLI not accepting default password :-( .

Jus bought the switch off ebay.

Could you PM me method.

THIS IS NOW FIXED. HP support were helpful. Didn't get asked to swap a PWR cable for change :-)

I've got the same problem with 3Com 2928 SFP Plus.
Could you describe more details about the solution you used because I don't understand how to reset the password.
Thanks

I found solution.
After connecting through com1 power off and power on the switch.
During start you'll see communicate that you can press CTRL-B.
Do it and you'll get menu where you can choose to restart without configuration.
After restart you can login as admin with empty password.
Then write "initialize" command to reset configuration to default settings.

Thanks I found the Manual on the HP website which gave this fix and it works if you use hyperterminal

In case it helps anyone we just purchased a v1910 recently and I found this guide to enabling full CLI as opposed to the crippled default version or having to use the Web GUI mode - HP v1910 Secret Commando list ( how to enable it ) « Glazenbakje's Weblog

It's a much nicer switch to use now. :D

Just google for it.

Apropos google cache. Anyone tried the latest R1512P06 firmware?

Remember, HP 1910 == HP V1910 == 3Com 2928/2952 which was released in 2008 I think and still receives major software upgrades. Not bad for a once sub200€ (24 port) switch. Tell this Netgear...
