Catalyst 3550 Multilayer Switch Software Configuration Guide

Chapter 27      Troubleshooting

Using Recovery Procedures

Step 12

Return to privileged EXEC mode:

Switch (config)# exit

Switch# 

Step 13

Write the running configuration to the startup configuration file:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

The new password is now in the startup configuration.

Note

This procedure is likely to leave your switch virtual interface in a shutdown state. You can see which 
interface is in this state by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. To 
re-enable the interface, enter the interface vlan vlan-id global configuration command, and specify 
the VLAN ID of the shutdown interface. With the switch in interface configuration mode, enter the 
no shutdown command.

Procedure with Password Recovery Disabled

If the password-recovery mechanism is disabled, this message appears:

The password-recovery mechanism has been triggered, but

is currently disabled.  Access to the boot loader prompt

through the password-recovery mechanism is disallowed at

this point.  However, if you agree to let the system be

reset back to the default system configuration, access

to the boot loader prompt can still be allowed.

Would you like to reset the system back to the default configuration (y/n)?

Caution

Returning the switch to the default configuration results in the loss of all existing configurations. We 
recommend that you contact your system administrator to verify if there are backup switch and 
VLAN configuration files.

•

If you enter n (no), the normal boot process continues as if the Mode button had not been pressed; 
you cannot access the boot loader prompt, and you cannot enter a new password. You see the 
message:

Press Enter to continue........

•

If you enter y (yes), the configuration file in Flash memory and the VLAN database file are deleted. 
When the default configuration loads, you can reset the password.

Step 1

Elect to continue with password recovery and lose the existing configuration:

Would you like to reset the system back to the default configuration (y/n)? Y 

Step 2

Load any helper files:

Switch: load_helper
