Need to reset password on Alteon 180 blacksun777 10-23-07

I have two Alteon 180 switches that I need to recover the password. I
misplaced my Alteon software and I am looking for any suggestions on
how I can recover the passwords. I believe the process is to use a
binary file uploaded over the serial port. I tried the Nortel site
using a valid support account but no longer have access to software
for the Alteon 180. Here are the versions installed on the switches -

ACEswitch 180
Version 8.0.49

Alteon 180
ACEswitch 180
Version 6.0.69

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You still can get 8.0.49 on Nortel website once you set the search
filter to "All Status".
