Yes I did. As I'd mentioned, the customer doesn't know or recall the TinyROM 
enable password.

My guess is someone set the TinyROM password before (probably router supplier, 
previous NetAdmin, previous ISP, e.t.c.) and didn't pass this information or 
doesn't remember it.

The first password I need to recover is the TinyROM enable password, so I can 
reconfigure the config-register and bypass NVRAM upon normal boot.

Cheers,

Mark.
