partial Summary: Solaris x86 password recovery - Device Configuration Assistant disk(urgent)

Hi,
 
I've managed to download some other DCA images
& follow the instructions at the following url & got
a working floppy :


http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/4.html#4.11

 
Now, I'm left with getting the large Sol 9 x86 CD
(dont want DVD as I dont think the IDS box has
DVD drive).
 
BTW, which CD is that?  Is that CD1/3, 2/3 or ?.
I suppose a Sol 10 or Sol 9 x86 can be used to do
password recovery for a Sol 8, right?
 
Presumably, just like Sparc, the later the CD, the
more up-to-date drivers it has.
 
 
Thanks & sorry for the frequent post,
G Sun

Hi,
 
If anybody can mail me (to goldsun8@yahoo.com.sg) the
DCA (in self-extracting), will appreciate it.  My Cisco IDS
is version 4 & I suspect it's running Solaris 8 for x86.
 
Also, we could not locate our Solaris for Intel CD as well
- so if anyone can point to me a website/url to download
it, will most appreciate it.
 
If there's any method that doesn't require the DCA floppy
to recover this box, that's even better - I'm under pressure.
 
Sigh, the workplace is a mess
 
 
Thanks

Hi

We have Cisco IDS 4235 & one book (Cisco Security Professional's
Guide to Securite Intrusion Detection) says it's running Solaris for Intel 
& gave the password recovery as follows :

*************************** start of book extract ************************** 

In order to carry out the password recovery procedures, you'll need :


Solaris for Intel CD-ROM.


Solaris Device Configuration Assistant disk (boot disk). This can be downloaded from the Sun support Web site. http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/. Cisco does not maintain this diskette on the Cisco Web site and cannot guarantee the whereabouts of the information on the Sun Web site. 


Console access to the workstation.


******************************* end of book extract ****************************** 

I went to the above website (the full url ends up as 
https://sdlcweb2d.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/LegalPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.LegalWebPageInfo;jsessionid=878C6525EC529C4B04809E8F35BF9836;jsessionid=878C6525EC529C4B04809E8F35BF9836 ) & got DCA for Solaris x86 8 1001, English (S8_1001.3.zip, 921.10 KB).

I then unzip this S8_1001.3.zip & downloaded dd.exe & found
that I could not burn this S8_1003.3 to my floppy (see below) :

What have I done wrong or is there any other way of Solaris x86
password recovery (specifically for this Cisco IDS 4235 which
I believe is actually a Dell 1u box)?


Thanks
