Full factory reset M4300-52G 48-port without web or terminal access
Hello,
We have trying to find a way to do a full factory reset of a switch that came back from a rental job.
We have no idea on the password to get in the Web GUI.
No access via the terminal due to no cables.
Reset button did not really help and a factory reset button was not found on the device.
How could we do a full factory reset to wipe the full confg with only pussing a button.
The manual did not helps out either.
Thx...
factory reset did not clear the password, we did it via the usb cable to do a recovery and reset the password

Hi Wvrbe,
Hold Reset button for 10 seconds, the Deivce will be factory defalut
For example:
"(M4300-48X) >Factory default restore button is activated "
Helloa,
After around 6 sec the switch is rebooting even if you keep pushing.
After the reset, the defaul admin with no password does not work.
Hello Wvrbe,
After restore-defalut deivce, login dut by Gui do not need password.
You only need to enter username "admin" to login successfully by Gui
