A password recovery method I've found very frustrating is to use the serial number or similar value that's on a label on the bottom of the equipment.
Related pet peeve: Inventory and asset control people that stick a sticker on hardware and then expect to be able to scan the barcode at a later date. Works fine if the barcode sticker actually ends up facing the front or the back of the rack. But occasionally, the sticker ends up stuck on an empty space on the printed circuit board of a upgrade blade that's plugged into a chassis...
Sounds like RFID FTW! Actually, I have no idea if it'd work, maybe someone else does. Seems like it'd be nice to be able to just wand a rack and poof out comes a list of everything in it. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
