I've recently taken over the networking and phone system for a client and they never had the ethernet connection to the phone system setup. I plugged in an ethernet and the system is pulling an IP, upon visiting that IP in a browser I receive a Username/Password prompt but no one knows what the password could have possibly been and the last person to work on the system is long gone (deceased).

Is there a way to reset the password from the main phone extension? If not I suppose I could boot into single user mode (it's running a variant of Red Hat linux so this should be possible?) and reset the root password. But I'm not sure if that would be the same user for the web interface.

Any assistance anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get this system backed up as I just narrowly bypassed a potential HUGE problem and would like to have a safety net for in the future.
