The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup
procedure described in Configuring the Switch with the CLI Setup Program, on page 65.
How to Recover Passwords
Password recovery is a feature that a system administrator can enable or disable. If password recovery is
disabled, the only way to recover from a lost or forgotten password is to clear the switch configuration entirely.
For this procedure, see How to Recover Passwords, on page 53.
The Cisco IE 4010 Switch Software Configuration Guide provides details about enabling and disabling the
password recovery feature and the procedure for recovering passwords.
Finding the Switch Serial Number
If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you need to know the serial number of your switch. The serial
number is on the top of the switch. You can also use the show version command to obtain the switch serial
number.
