  2. I inherited a pile of parts from an office we closed down. In the pile is a 6180, and an expansion shelf... but no documentation or software.

    I got the 6180 on the network with DHCP, but I don't know what I need to do to do a password recovery. Can that be done with CAM? Or will I need a serial cable to access the CLI?

    Where do I get a copy of CAM? Do you know the pin-out for the serial cable (if I even need it)?

    Thanks for your helpful post, it's brief steps were more educational than trying to read the online documentation from Oracle.
