Password Reset 1

[mtbiker]

I have a 2900 series 8-port switch that I cannot seem to remember what the password is.
I know their is a way to reset the password / switch but am unfamiliar with exactly how.

Thanks in advance.

Hold down the mode button located on the left side of the front panel while rebooting the switch.

Release the mode button after the LED above Port 1x goes out.


Issue the flash_init command
Issue the load_helper command
Issue the dir flash: command
Type rename flash:config.text flash:config.old to rename the configuration file
Issue the boot command to boot the system
Enter "no" at the prompt to start the Setup program
At the switch prompt type enable to enter enable mode
Type rename flash:config.old flash:config.text to rename the configuration file with its original name.
Type copy flash:config.text system:running-config
Type config t
Type no enable secret
Type enable password (put your password here)
Write configuration to memory....your done.
