I would think a hard reset

I would think a hard reset would take care of that. Did you try it?

Now that you know about the

Now that you know about the hidden telnet mode, you'll have to change the username and/or password if security is your concern.

Try these commands in the telnet session, substituting your own user name and/or password:

nvram
nvram show
nvram get super_username
nvram get super_passwd

nvram set super_username=Gearguy commit
nvram set super_passwd=Geardog commit

Then reboot if you made any changes.
