Achtung:
Wenn Sie die für das System standardmäßig eingestellten Paßwörter
ändern, notieren Sie sich die neuen Paßwörter, und bewahren Sie sie an einem
sicheren Ort auf. Falls Sie die neuen Paßwörter vergessen, können Sie nicht
mehr auf die Konsolenschnittstelle zugreifen. Wenden Sie sich in diesem Fall an
Nortel Networks, um Unterstützung zu erhalten.
