2.2 Switch Password Recovery

If the switch Web UI password is lost, you cannot get passed the Web UI login screen for any viable switch configuration activity. Consequently, a password recovery login must be used that will default your switch back to its factory default configuration.

To access the switch using a password recovery username and password:

CAUTION: Using this recovery procedure erases the switch’s current configuration and

!data files from the switch/flash dir. Only the switch’s license keys are retained. You should be able to log in using the default username and password (admin/superuser) and restore the switch’s previous configuration (only if it has been exported to a secure location before the password recovery procedure was invoked).

1.Connect a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the serial port on the front of the switch.

The switch login screen displays. Use the following CLI command for normal login process:

WS5100 login: cli

2.Enter a password recovery username of restore and password recovery password of restoreDefaultPassword.

User Access Verification

Username: restore

Password: restoreDefaultPasword

WARNING: This will wipe out the configuration (except license key) and user data under "flash:/" and reboot the device

Do you want to continue? (y/n):

3.Press Y to delete the current configuration and reset factory defaults.

The switch will login into the Web UI with its reverted default configuration. If you had exported the switch’s previous configuration to an external location, it now can be imported back to the switch. For information on importing switch configuration files, see Transferring a Config File on page 3-19.
