service password-recovery
Note
If you use the
no service password-recovery
command to control end user access to passwords, we
recommend that you save a copy of the config file in a location away from the switch in case the end user
uses the password recovery procedure and sets the system to default values. Do not keep a backup copy
of the config file on the switch.
If the switch is operating in VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) transparent mode, we recommend that you
also save a copy of the vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch.
You can verify if password recovery is enabled or disabled by entering the
show version
privileged
EXEC command.
Examples
This example shows how to disable password recovery on a switch so that a user can only reset a
password by agreeing to return to the default configuration:
Switch(config)#
no service-password recovery
Switch(config)#
exit
