The C360 provides a recovery password in the event that you have forgotten the login
password for the switch. The recovery password feature enables you to login to the device in a
super user mode and change the regular login password.
The recovery password feature can be disabled preventing unauthorized user to login to the
device using the recovery password. However, if the recovery password feature is disables and
you forget the login password, it will not be possible to log in to the switch. By default the
recovery password feature is enabled.

to change the password for the user "root".
