Appendix A - Password Recovery Procedure

This section describes the procedure for resetting passwords on the D-Link DXS-3600 Series switch.
Authenticating any user who tries to access networks is necessary and important. The basic
authentication method used to accept qualified users is through a local login, utilizing a Username and
Password. Sometimes, passwords will be forgotten or destroyed, so network administrators need to reset
these passwords. This section will explain how the Password Recovery feature can help network
administrators reach this goal.
The following steps explain how to use the Password Recovery feature on this switch to easily recover
passwords.
Complete these steps to reset the password:
•
For security reasons, the Password Recovery feature requires the user to physically access the
device. Therefore this feature is only applicable when there is a direct connection to the console
port of the device. It is necessary for the user needs to attach a terminal or PC with terminal
emulation to the console port of the switch.
•
Power on the Switch. After the UART init is loaded to 100%, the switch will allow 2 seconds for
the user to press the hotkey [^] (Shift+6) to enter the "Password Recovery Mode." Once the
Switch enters the "Password Recovery Mode," all ports on the Switch will be disabled.
