It is necessary to authenticate a user for access management. The pairing of
username and password is a basic authenticating mechanism. 'Password
Recovery' provides administrators a handle for the scenario of administrators
wanting to update password for some reason (e.g. forgetting password). For
concerns of security this feature is only applicable for direct connection to the
console port of the switch and the administrators only has 5 seconds during
which they can input a specific key (shift+6) after boot up procedure is
complete(i.e. when the username prompt or command prompt is shown).
When the specific key is inputted, user can enter reset configuration mode. In
this mode, user can use the command password-recovery to
(1)Update the configuration for user account: update new password for existed
user or add a user account.
(2)Force AAA module to switch the user authentication for console type to local
authentication in case fail to connect the remove AAA server.
A series of prompt message will guide user to complete the Password Recovery
procedure. User could answer "yes" to update the passwords or authentication
function; answer "no" to skip it.
When Password Recovery procedure is done, user could use "logout" command
to exit the reset configuration mode. After that, user could login system again
with the new password.
