Allied Telesis accidentally put information about the backdoors present in all of its products into the support area on its web site. The Japanese manufacturer of network equipment describes how locked out users can, depending on the device, gain access with a standard login.

Default Allied Telesis – no backdoor in devices

From http://www.h-online.com/security/new...s-1257052.html

Quote:
Allied Telesis denies charges that it has put backdoors into all of its products. Recently, the Japanese manufacturer of network equipment accidentally published an internal support document containing information about a "backdoor password for Allied Telesis devices." Now, the company says the description is misleading and that the tools it published merely serve to reset the administrator password, which it says is a common function.
