[suggests disconnecting the battery for a minute to wipe the NVRAM]

Two things I would like to add:

1)  Your console should be set to SPACE parity.  Your system might still
    have the default password.  It just won't work without space parity.

2)  Don't forget to reset the date & time if you pull the battery.  AT&T
    did some work on our 3b2-700 recently that involved disconnecting the
    battery, and they forgot to reset the time.  It confused a few cron
    scripts.
