You need to interrupt the boot sequence and use a hideen system command:
1) Power on switch, press"ESC" key very quickly to go to Mini Boot Monitor mode. (If you press too late you will go into the option to boot from Flash or Net via TFTP.)
2) Press "Enter" key.
3) At the commend prompt Type: . EmergencyPasswordReset (Exactly as written it is case sensitive and doesn''t like spaces. This is a hideen command.)
4) There is then a question . "Are you sure? (y/n)". The answer is "X". This a capital X - It will disable password.
5) You will get a response that the system password has been disabled - if you don''t get this confirmation it hasn''t worked because you have mistyped something but it won''t tell you that.)
5) Enter "g" to re boot. .g
This will disable the password for switch on reboot.
