do you have physical access to the box? if so, then serial cable, if not you might be in trouble. Matt

Well I don' t have physical access but will have it tomorrow morning. Good thing is that i was not doing nay updates/upgrades so the config/network is fine but I do need to get in...What is the CLI COMMAND and method to allow me to get back in?! thx

after you' re connected by serial. config sys admin edit <admin name> set trusthost1 <ipsubnet>/<subnetmask> end note you can use trusthost1, trusthost2 or trusthost3. Cheers Matt

In the future, have access to a second account (support, etc) so that you can avoid the serial route.... Works for me.
