Chapter 8 User Authentication
Recovery Password
Introduction
The P330 provides a recovery password in the event that you have forgotten the login password for the switch. The recovery password feature enables you to login to the device in a super user mode and change the regular login password.
The recovery password feature can be disabled preventing unauthorized user to login to the device using the recovery password. However, if the recovery password feature is disables and you forget the login password, it will not be possible to log in to the switch. By default the recovery password feature is enabled.
To use the recovery password feature, you must connect to the switch’s console port. Log in using the user name “root” and password “ggdaseuaimhrke”. Use the set username command to change the password for the user “root”.
Enabling and disabling the Recovery Password protocol can only be done using a direct console connection via the Console port.
