Hi,
I have a Brocade 5100. I am able to get into command shell.
I need to change runlevel to 1 in order to change user password to default
How do you edit /etc/inittab ?

Josef,
a password recovery procedure is available in order to reset password to factory default.
have a look here in the community, and you find diverse threads.
BTW.
first, from email you send me yesterday, the email-address is invalid.
second, generally I don't answer email with free email address ( like gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc. )
