How to Restore Passwords of Case-type Switches?

Notes

1. Get a configuration cable ready when restoring the password.

2. Password restoration is performed at the CTRL layer during device restart. The network needs to be disconnected. Perform password restoration operation when the network can be disconnected.

3. Strictly follow the operation steps. Improper operations may cause configuration loss.

4. Passwords of switches using the RGOS 11.X software platform are restored by saving the configuration.

Configuration Key Points

1. Get a configuration cable (console cable) ready for password restoration. The device needs to be restarted and password restoration needs to be completed at the CTRL layer.

2. The password restoration of switches using the RGOS 11.X software platform takes effect only at the current time. That is, if there is no input within 10 minutes after the CLI is displayed. A password still needs to be entered after timeout occurs. If the password is not changed after the CLI is displayed, the previous password is still required at the next restart of the device.

Password Restoration Steps

Step 1: If an administrator forgets the login password and fails to enter the configuration mode. Use a configuration cable to enter the CTRL layer to restore the password.

1) Manually power off the device and then restart it.

2) When the Ctrl+C prompt is displayed, press Ctrl+C to access the BootLoader menu.

3) rename config.text ---->config.bak

4) load firmware

5) recovery the previous config file

6) set new password
