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...
Scratch the Web browser idea. Start here -> https://kb.netgear.com/8004/M4100-To-recover-admin-password-from-boot-menu
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!
