Cisco BPX Switch
- Thread starter tazzman
- Start date
You don't mention what model of BPX you're using. However I had a quick look on the CCO and found the following document that outlines password recovery for the 8600.
Summarising this document, it recommends the following:
Step 1 Establish a physical connection to the switch through the Console Port (CP) connector on the PXM UI-S3 card.
Step 2 When the login prompt appears, press ESC, CTRL-Y to reset the password.
Step 3 Log in using username cisco and password cisco.
Step 4 To maintain switch security after resetting the cisco user password, change the password using the cnfpasswd command as follows:
sesone.1.PXM.a > cnfpasswd <user_id>
Enter existing password:
Enter new password:
Re-enter new password:
spirit4.1.2.PXM.a >
Replace <user_id> with your user name.
