Recovering the System Password

You can recover the system enable password if you have lost or forgotten it.
Caution: Recovering the system password will delete your configuration files.
You set the switch password using the set enablepass command. If you forget the password,
use one of the following procedures.
1. Reboot the switch, and interrupt the switch boot process. Insert a pin into the restart
switch or power the switch off and on again to cause the switch to reboot. The restart
switch on a DWS-1008 switch is also located next to its serial console port.
2. When you see descending numbers on the console, press any key.
3. Type the following command at the boot> prompt:
boot> boot OPT+=default
If you do not type the command before the reset cycle is complete, the switch returns to the
state it was in before you restarted it.
Once you have entered the command, the switch returns to its initial unconfigured state.
For model DWS-1008, you also can reconfigure basic parameters using the Web Quick
Start. Use a web browser to access IP address 192.168.100.1.
Caution: Use an enable password that you will remember. If you lose the password, the
only way to restore it causes the system to return to its default settings and wipes out the
configuration.
Configuring and Managing the System Log
System logs provide information about system events that you can use to monitor and
troubleshoot MSS. Event messages for the switch and its attached access points can be
stored or sent to the following destinations:
• Stored in a local buffer on the switch
• Displayed on the console port
• Displayed in an active Telnet session
• Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164
The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest. These entries are
preserved in nonvolatile memory through system reboots.
