Hi.
I'm not sure if this is a new problem or not, coz i'm mostly working with ASG220's that can factory reset from display.
But I managed to fck-up something that forced me to do a factory reset of the software version.
According to the KB at http://portal.knowledgebase.net/article.asp?article=215611&p=5956 you can do factory reset without root password the following way:
Connect a keyboard and monitor to the system.
Power restart the unit and wait for the boot: prompt to appear
Enter:
boot: default factoryreset
I never get a boot prompt.
I can pres ESC when grub is starting and the c to go to command line, but the factory reset command does not work there.
Reinstall is ofcourse a solutions, but in worst case your working with an ASG120 and don't have a USB CD-ROM or an ASI - then what to do?
