List members,

To head off the already trickling in flood of emails on how to reset the
device.... Yes, I know we could all tell him how to do a manual reset of the
device with a paperclip but let's try to view this as a learning opportunity
for playing with windows brute-force tools for web-based authentication like
Ian asked and recommend some ways to tackle this without the reset shall we?
:)

Ian, if you're *really* bored you could run an HTTP proxy and play with
Expect scripting and a password dictionary... Or try THC-Hydra
(http://www.thc.org/releases.php) if Brutus is giving you issues and you
don't want to reinvent the wheel.
