This command is used to recover the password related settings. Use the password recovery command in
the reset configuration mode.
password-recovery
Parameters
None.
Default
None.
Command Mode
Reset Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 15.
Usage Guideline
Under certain circumstances, the administrator may have the need to update a user's account because
the password of the account was forgotten. To do this, the administrator has to enter the Reset
Configuration Mode. For assistance on how to enter the reset configuration mode, please contact the
technical support personnel.
After entering the reset configuration mode, use the password-recovery command and follow the
confirmation prompt message to recover the password related settings.
Password recovery basically does the following three things:
•
Update an existing user account by entering the username of an existing user and its new
password or add a new user account with a privileged level of 15. The new user account cannot
be created if the maximum number of user accounts is exceeded.
•
Update the enabled password for the administrator-privileged level.
•
Disable the AAA function to let the system do local authentication.
The updated setting will be saved in the running configuration file. Before the reload is executed, the
switch will prompt the administrator to approve saving the running configuration as the startup
configuration.
