Yep,
<br />
<br />That sounds like a box that had the BlueOnyx install CD left in it when it was rebooted.
<br />
<br />A few years back, one of my customers left a BX CD in his big virtual host after loading a new VM with BX. When his NOC went down to a power distribution fault, the big virtual host reloaded and wiped 20+ VMs turning it into a big BX server.
<br />
<br />Shortly after learning of that, Michael put in the requirement to hit enter before a default install will start - to prevent such accidents. But if your Colo guys hit enter at the opening screen - you've got a newly installed BX server and all the old stuff is gone.
<br />
<br />Hope you had backups....
<br />

Oh it's not my day today.

The colo has put a KVM on it as it had gone into setup mode. I logged in and
<br />>
it was asking for IP info (subnet mask, gateway etc) which I've entered, but
<br />>
now it's prompting me to log in and not accepting the master password I
<br />>
usually use on this box.
<br />>
<br />>
Any ideas?
