4.6 Resetting the Switch

If you lock yourself (and others) from the Switch or forget the administrator
password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or reset the
Switch back to the factory defaults.

4.6.1 Reload the Configuration File

Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration
file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all
previous configurations and the speed of the console port will be reset to the
default of 9600 bps with 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to
none. The password will also be reset to "1234" and the IP address to
192.168.1.1.
To upload the configuration file, do the following:
