What to do if the ADMIN password has been forgotten

If the ADMIN password becomes mislaid or forgotten, you will not be able to access the ServSwitch CX to add or edit users and server names. This situation may be resolved by performing a complete reset to return the ServSwitch CX or CX with IP to its factory default state.

IMPORTANT: A complete reset erases all the user names and server names that you have setup.

Slightly different procedures are used to reset the ServSwitch CX and the ServSwitch CX with IP, as detailed here.

To reset ServSwitch CX models

1Remove all power inputs from the ServSwitch CX unit.

2Move switch 3 on the rear panel down to the ON position.

3Press and hold the front panel USER and COMPUTER buttons while you re- apply power. On the local user port, a screen menu will indicate that the unit has been reset and will prompt you to power down and return the switch to its normal position.

4As directed, remove power and move switch 3 up to its OFF position.

5Power up and configure the unit in the normal manner.
