Appendix A. Password Recovery

This chapter introduces the procedure to reset passwords on TP-LINK switches.
Steps to reset the password:
1. For Security reasons, the Password Recovery feature requires the user to physically access
the switch. Please attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation program to the
RJ-45/Micro-USB console port of the switch.
2. Configure the terminal or the terminal emulation program to use the following settings:
• Baud rate: 38400 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
3. Power on the switch. After the message 'Hit any key to stop autoboot' is shown on the interface
of the terminal emulation program, the switch will allows 3 seconds for the user to press any
key to enter the BOOTUTIL Interface.
4. Enter 6 to select the 'Password recovery' option and enter Y to delete all the users and
passwords. The default login username and password are both admin. The other
configurations in the switch will not be changed.
