Hi There,

First post is a question, which I hate, but you guys may just be able to help me out, otherwise this expensive Snap 1100 80Gb is going in the trash:- A shame when I just bought a new PSU to get it going.

This box has been sat on the shelf at work for 5 yrs. As it's only 80Gb, they consigned it to be scrapped, so I opted to 'recycle' it, mainly out of curiosity.

So I perform the full reset (hold the button, power it on, press 4 times, restart etc) and all is good: It shows up on my network with a DHCP IP address and if I point a web browser at it, it asks me to choose a language. Then I hit a problem.

It asks me for a password for "config".
This isn't the "admin" password, as it asks me for this first, and it's been reset so I get straight past it.

How do I reset the "config" account password?

I don't give two hoots about any data on the drive (except the OS obviously) so I will happily wipe the whole lot out. But if I can't get in to configure the thing, I either need an image of a blank 1100 to start from scratch with in a PC, or it can go in the trash:- which seems a terrible waste.

Hope someone can offer me some advice?

Thanks in advance, chaps.
Steve
