As taken from the OfficeConnect 56K 3c886 manual.
"What If I Forget My
Password?
If you forget your password, you must reset the 56K LAN Modem to the factory
default settings, which will allow you to enter a new password. Note that when
the 56K LAN Modem is restored to the factory default settings, all configuration
changes are lost, including your service provider profiles. For instructions, refer to
“Resetting the 56K LAN Modem to a Factory Default Setting”."
"Resetting the 56K LAN
Modem to the Factory
Defaults
If you are unable to access the LAN Modem’s main page because your computer
cannot communicate with the LAN Modem, you can restore the LAN Modem to
the factory default settings using the reset switch located on the unit’s back panel.
To reset the LAN Modem using the reset switch, do the following.
n Press and continue to hold in the reset button located on the back of the unit.
(You must continuously hold the reset button through three cycles of LED
flashing: Reset, Firmware Download mode, and Factory Default Reset.)
n After approximately ten seconds, the ALERT LED will begin to flash. This first
cycle indicates that the unit has been reset. This first reset is similar to a
power-cycle of the unit. In this case all user-entered information is maintained.
n The second cycle of ALERT LED flashing indicates that the unit has entered
firmware download mode.
n After the ALERT LED has flashed for the third cycle, you have successfully reset
the LAN Modem back to factory defaults.
n Release the reset button.
The LAN Modem reinitializes itself, and is reset back to the factory defaults. All
user-entered information will be erased.
n Restart your computer.
n Launch your Web browser."

To get this information I went to google and type in, "3c886 manual" and the manual was the second link listed.
Google can be an AMAZING Tool.
