Anyone know how to reset the password and configuration on an F720, without physically having the boot disks? In the past, I called NetApp support with the same problem, at which point I was given instructions on how to emulate a floppy boot. Unfortunately I misplaced this valuable piece of information. The only part I recall is setting a variable at the "ok"/bios prompt named something like ?floppy-boot?.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1. reboot 2. <ctrl-c> on bootup 3. at the Ok prompt enter: setenv floppy-boot? true 4. boot and answer yes to the boot from floppy question
Note that you'll get the boot menu every time you reboot from then on until you:
setenv floppy-boot? false
