Procedure with Password Recovery Disabled
If the password-recovery mechanism is disabled, this message appears:
The password-recovery mechanism has been triggered, but
is currently disabled. Access to the boot loader prompt
through the password-recovery mechanism is disallowed at
this point. However, if you agree to let the system be
reset back to the default system configuration, access
to the boot loader prompt can still be allowed.
Would you like to reset the system back to the default configuration (y/n)?
Returning the device to the default configuration results in the loss of all existing configurations. We recommend
that you contact your system administrator to verify if there are backup device and VLAN configuration files.
Caution
• If you enter n (no), the normal boot process continues as if the Ctrl-C had not been pressed; you cannot
access the boot loader prompt, and you cannot enter a new password. You see the message:
Press Enter to continue........
• If you enter y (yes), the configuration file in flash memory and the VLAN database file are deleted. When
the default configuration loads, you can reset the password.
Procedure
