So in the group of boxes I've inherited, I have one that has a firmware password. I do not know the root password of the machine nor the firmware password. I've tried several things already, such as: removing BIOS battery, double tap the power switch, and several variants of the STOP-A on a PC keyboard. I'm connecting through PuTTy on Console. This is a V210 and I do not see a removable NVRAM chip.
go does nothing from what I can tell
login require password (don't have)
boot only allows me to boot to default, not cdrom.
Thank you in Advance,
Adelsin
