2. Then press-and-hold the Reset button for a minimum of 5 seconds. This resets the password to its default setting.

3.Logon to device management. You can now logon to the device via the Console port and assign

anew password using the command line interface (CLI). To access device management from your local pc, terminal, or modem connection, proceed as follows:

a.Enter rw (Read-Write) for Username.

b.At the Password prompt, press ENTER (RETURN).

For details on how to enter a new password using the command line interface, refer to the Matrix C Series Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to initially set up and perform more involved switch management configurations.
