M4300-28G (GSM4328S) Firmware Upgrade - What happens to user passwords?
Hello all, I'm upgrading our M4300-28G's firmware from 12.0.9.3 to 12.0.19.4. The warnings section for the firmware's release notes state... https://kb.netgear.com/000066372/M4300-Firmwar...
Hi Russell8974 ,
Thank you for your message.
In your case, you are interpreting it right: when accessing the switch UI again after booting with the new firmware, you'll be prompted to set a new password - because the old password in your startup config won't have the correct salt/hash.
I hope it helps!
