I have a general question about networking equipment I was hoping you guys could answer for me quick. I am assuming this is not possible, just looking for a confirmation.
I have a handful of boards (Alvarion mostly) that were purchased used. They however, are locked with a different password than the default and there is not any physical buttons on the PCB that allow password reset.
My question is this:
Theoretically, is there a way to reset to factory defaults on networking equipment by simply removing/resolding a certain BGA or any other IC without salvaging a chip from another unit to replace with.
There is not any type of removable battery on these boards, so I am assuming its all hardwired in those chips.
Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated! Thank you!
