If you google around on the net you'll find two possible ways:

1. You're lucky and your software version has one of the backdoors
that you find on the net.

2. You connect your switch to another via those special connectors on
the back.

For me neither of those worked, but fortunately SNMP was enabled on the 
switch and the write community was something like 'private' (don't 
remember exactly). The passwords are in the MIB and I could write them via
snmpset.

If neither of those work, you'll better get a new one, because 3com 
appears to charge real money for help in those cases.
