way back when DC's were secure but not _that secure_ i social engineered my way close enough to our rack without ID to hit a reset button before getting thrown out.
late reply but, no, i really needed to hit the button but didn't have valid ID at the time. My driver's license was expired and i couldn't get it renewed because of a outstanding tickets iirc. I was able to talk my way in and had been there many times before so knew my way around and what words to say. I was able to do what i needed before another admin came up and told me that without valid ID they have no choice but to ask me to leave (probably like an insurance thing). I was being a bit dramatic when i said "getting thrown out" the datacenter guys were very nice and almost apologetic about asking me to leave.
/those were the days
