Carefully remove the top chassis cover exposing the PCB. Put a jumper on the two pins labeled “Password reset jumper” and power on the switch. Call up the configure security menu and enter a new configuration password, access password and access time. Press <Esc> to return to the main menu. Select “Exit” and press enter. You will be prompted to save the changes. Select “YES” and press enter. The new password settings will be saved in flash memory. Next, turn off the UltraView Pro and remove the installed jumper. Replace the top chassis cover and power the switch back up. The new passwords will be active after power is applied.
