Password reset
I am trying to change the admin password on our M4100 switch via a web browser. In the process, I cleared the exisitng password but have no idea how to add the new password. Is it possible to do this throught the web interface to the switch? If so, can anyone direct me how to do that?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much. I am a novice, so I don't completley understand what to do with your suggestion.
Do I need to connect a laptop directly to the switch? Via USB?
Do I need to use Terminal (I'm on a Mac)?
Just an FYI: when I reset the password it became blank, so I don't need to recover the password as I can still login as an admin with out a password. My goal is to add a password to the switch...
Thanks again!
