Configuring Username and Password Security
Front-Panel Security
Password Recovery:
Shows whether the switch is configured
with the ability to recover a lost password. (Refer to
“Password Recovery Process” on page 2-34.) (Default:
Enabled
.)
CAUTION:
Disabling this option removes the ability to
recover a password on the switch. Disabling this option is
an extreme measure and is not recommended unless you
have the most urgent need for high security. If you disable
password-recovery and then lose the password, you will
have to use the Reset and Clear buttons (page 2-25) to reset
the switch to its factory-default configuration and create a
new password.
For example,
show front-panel-security
produces the following output when
the switch is configured with the default front-panel security settings.
