Robert,

Now I understand.  I would consider the state of a 90L with password cleared
and all configurations deleted as "factory default" even though there's no
automated way to achieve it.  Difference of interpretation.  Since your post
originally indicated that not having the current passwords was the issue at
hand, I believed (given my definition of "fd") that I had given you a path
forward.

My apologies.
