4.5 Switch Lockout/Resetting the Switch
You could block yourself (and all others) from managing the Switch if you remove all ports from VLAN1
and you do not configure other VLAN groups.
Note: Be careful not to lock yourself and others out of the Switch.
Make sure to log out of the Switch from a computer before logging in again on another
computer.
If you forget the administrator password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use
the
RESET
button at the front panel of the Switch to reset it back to the factory defaults.
This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to
“1234”. IP address will also be reset to 192.168.1.3.

Make sure the
PWR/SYS
LED is on (not blinking).

To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the
RESET
button for more than 6 seconds or
until the
PWR
/
SYS
LED begins to blink and then release it. When the
PWR
/
SYS
LED begins to blink, the
defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
4.6 Logging Out of the Web Configurator
Click the logout icon
in a screen to exit the Web Configurator. You have to log in with your password
again after you log out. This is recommended after you finish a management session for security reasons.
Note: You are automatically logged out of the Web Configurator after 5 minutes of inactivity.
