How to recover an "enable" password
Good Day all! We have a M4300 Netgear switch and I am looking for a way to recover the "enable" password for when using SSH. I can connect via HTTPS and have admin rights, is there a way to reset it in the GUI? Thanks in advance...

... without the password, or using the admin password? That would be the same password for ssh based shell access, isn't it?
