I have an AP9210 that I lost the password to. I used the password generator to generate a password based on the serial, and that got me logged into the com port. I reset the IP, and I can hit it with a web browser, but the apc/apc username and password don't work. Also if I telnet to the address, it just says "connection refused". I find it strange that there is no "set username" anywhere in the configuration.
Anyway- what am I doing wrong? I even did a "reset eeprom to default values", and reset the IP and password again. Even tried a different IP on a different subnet. The website moved to the new IP, so I know the config change is applying, but apc/apc isn't letting me in. Any ideas?

And it also seems like I am not in "normal" operating mode. When the serial prompt comes up, it just says "Login:". I type "apc" and I am in. No "User Name" and "Password" prompts, just a single login prompt. And the menu looks different than it should. I have a small menu with 9 options. Where it seems like it should have 4 options (according to the manual). Right now it looks like:
APC www.apcc.com
MasterSwitch
***Main Menu
1. Outlets
2. Network Configuration
3. SNMP Configuration
4. Ping Application
5. Password Configuration
6. Console Configuration
7. Advanced
8. Factory Settings
9. Logout

Help me out here, I'm going crazy, lol.

Hi Moe,
I must admit the Masterswitch is older than me - but I'd be very tempted to either dig through the network settings for hints on resurrecting ethernet, or hit Factory Settings to earn a clean start.

I literally tried every option in every menu. There just isn't much there. It's like it got put into "basic" mode or something. Looking through the manual, there should be 4 main choices with several sub-menus. This is like 9 super-basic options that do nothing for the ethernet side of things (other than setting the IP).

I think I figured it out.. Maybe...
Since this is a v1.0 firmware, it uses "apcuser" as the username on the web. That, plus "apc" as the password got me in. Just posting this in case anyone else runs into this issue.
