[c-nsp] Catalyst 5505 RSM/ROMMON

Hi

I have a Catalyst 5505 with a RSM that has an unknown password set on
it. The password recovery procedure involves connecting a console
cable and entering the ROMMON mode, but no matter how hard I try
I can't get this thing to enter ROMMON.

The console screen is totally blank and won't respond to any keystrokes
(including Ctrl+break) until the RSM actually boots up and displays
"Press RETURN to get started."
All keystrokes work after that.

Has anyone ever encountered this kind of problem? I don't think I've
come across anything like this on any router platform.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
