Two things I would like to add:
1) Your console should be set to SPACE parity. Your system might still
have the default password. It just won't work without space parity.
2) Don't forget to reset the date & time if you pull the battery. AT&T
did some work on our 3b2-700 recently that involved disconnecting the
battery, and they forgot to reset the time. It confused a few cron
scripts.
