So your network admin didn't bother to get the login/enable password for 
a device that is an integral part of your network?   That's...  a very 
big lapse in their responsibilities.

I had a consultant recently in CO try to pull the same stunt on me for 
one of the companies I consult for - stalling, giving bullshit reasons, 
etc on why they couldn't just hand over the administrative passwords to 
the actual IT people in the company.

Why were we demanding admin access?  Because the company we were paying 
to maintain it we suspected weren't doing their job.  We figured they 
knew exactly why we were asking for the information, and were buying time.

IIRC, we were right about the condition of the firewall, switches, etc.

Anyways, moral of the story, don't let a consultant hold any and all the 
keys to the castle for exactly the situation you have right now.
