Can I e-mail cco-team@...co.com and ask them to send me an arbitrary 
user's new password? Hmm...

If I happened to be the one responsible for causing this DoS then don't 
you think I would already have the ones of the following details of a 
target victim's account at cisco.com ?

   1 Maintenance contract or Account number you used in your registration
   2 The user ID your believe you have
   3 Full name
   4 Company name

And of course I would have their authentic e-mail address temporarily 
disabled due to some unexplained outage, so that Cisco can't easily 
e-mail them a confirmation to their old e-mail address...

Practically-speaking, Cisco has little choice but to personally phone 
every single member, or dump their entire registration database and 
force the users to re-apply for new member accounts.

This automatic password reset thing is fatally-flawed.
