Using the HP Web Browser Interface

Tasks for Your First HP Web Browser Interface Session

If You Lose a Password

If you lose the passwords, you can clear them by pressing the Clear button on the front of the switch. This action deletes all password and user name protection from all of the switch’s interfaces.

The Clear button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.(For more information, refer to “Front Panel Security” in the chapter titled “Configuring Username and Password Secu­ rity” in the Access Security Guide for your switch.)
