Thanks for the help techwtf! You really saved my day! I've got to split the reward with someone else, but send me a pm or reply with your address if you would like me to send it. Thanks again!

For anyone else that needs help resetting the password on a batch 2 Avalon, you need to turn on the miner, wait like 8 seconds until the blue light on the back starts flashing, then press the reset button for a couple seconds, then change your ip as mentioned and login with telnet. Then type mount_root and then passwd, after resetting, just turn on and off the avalon.
